About Us…The Body Mind Spirit Guide is a homegrown publication in Michigan! Created by Howard & Penny Golden as a way to spend their retirement enjoying the people and things they love and value.

Our Founding Vision… “I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.”

Black Elk’s Vision (1862 - 1950)

Our Beliefs...We believe all people are One! And that this great truth lies deep within each person’s heart! We dedicate the Body Mind Spirit Guide to the One Mother, the One Father and their children (you & I)!

Though we speak many languages from differing nations, professions, religions, and realms, as we start to sing the language of LOVE we begin to become aware that we are all singing the same song!

This publication seeks to create Harmony to that One Song, the BEAUTIFUL Song of life!~Howard & Penny Golden

Power of the MindBy Wendy Powers Nugent

Here we are again in a fresh new year; you’re getting ready to start the year off with all your ambitions and hopes laid out before you -- through your resolutions. Oh…I know you don’t make resolutions anymore… you and I know why. They just don’t pan out as the year comes halfway into the first quarter; we feel defeated so we fall into our old habits or disappointments. STOP! Don’t even think this way. Do you realize that you have all the power within you to

change your life! I mean really change your health, aging, and even circumstance of your life -- all through your mind! I teach different types of meditation, one of which is creating. Yes, you can create through your meditation which is even more powerful than storyboarding or affirmations. There is a saying and it is most true, “You are what you think.” Or, in the case of you taking control, let’s change that to, “Think what you will be.” Then you will have control of your destiny. Throughout this past year, I have sent many people to a

hypnotherapist to help them get in control of their lives. Many people get caught up in a difficult mindset brought on by a circumstance in their life, or even from a past life, or through a constant sadness or maybe feeling defeated and can’t seem to clear themselves from difficult thoughts. The reason I send my clients to a hypnotherapist is so that

they can -- through the subconscious mind -- review the thought that is holding them back from living their life to the fullest. Then they heal it and file it back into the subconscious mind. Once that is done, they have a clean slate to work from and now will accomplish their goals. Learning about creation through meditation, you can get started on a new career, feel better about your current career, and lose or gain weight. You can feel in control of your body and slow down the aging process through feeling that you are young in body and mind. Yes, it is all what you create. Here’s one example of this. I had a client that had gone

through a great deal this past year. She came in for a reading and looked defeated and tired, claiming she felt that she had aged 10 years through her stress. She was slumped over and distressed as I started the reading, looking into what was happening in her now and in her future which at that point was defeat and ill health. Unfortunately, some people set their own

defeat by expecting it. I told her she was going to beat this situation and by the way, didn’t look a day older than last time I saw her the year before. Amazingly, she perked up and almost started to glow, her thoughts moved to a positive process thinking about her situation and knew what she needed to do to resolve her issue. Myself, I have gone through so many

health issues that the doctors in their limited thoughts on my health say that I would not improve or even worse, they had given me a death sentence on three occasions! Well, every time I proved them wrong by using the power of my mind -- rethinking my

health and mortality. When I create in meditation, I think what I want and believe it to be true; such as seeing every cell in my body in perfect harmony and reproducing at their optimal level. In 1973, I had the most wonderful experience attending a

class called, Silva Mind Control, now called, The Silva Method, founded by Jose Silva. One of the many things taught during this life-changing weekend was this -- do not accept negative thoughts or you will let them become your reality. Example: someone tells you everyone is catching a cold, so you’re next!Silva teaching is to tell your mind to cancel that thought by

repeating ‘cancel’ twice, “Cancel-Cancel.” This is sending your mind the message that it will not accept the “everyone knows” narrative. When you are nervous, fearful of reaching out to someone for any reason, completing a test, going for a job interview, or just trusting in your own psyche, you can stop the fearful narratives that run through your mind. Replace the negative thought or fearful thought with what

you instead desire. See it be your reality and believe it. You have heard of the old saying, “Fake it until you make it.” Well, this runs along that same thought process. “You are what you think,” is another well-known saying -- and so right! You can have the year you have been waiting for by simply envisioning it. Believe in it and do not doubt that you are in control, and you are now in the new beginnings of your life path.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What It Is and How To Treat It

By Robert Auerbach

Recently, one of my clients came to me complaining of pain in her wrists and radiating into her fingers, which was diagnosed by her doctor as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Alice is a data entry worker and as she told me, this activity makes up most of her daily work activity. She was in a quandary. She did not want to subject her body to a short-term and potentially dangerous approach of using steroids as her doctor recommended. She wanted to get at the cause and eliminate the pain.Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that causes pain,

numbness and tingling in the hand, arm, and wrist. The name comes from the fact that there is a tunnel that is created in the arm by the tendons and bones of the wrist. It is through this tunnel that the median nerve passes and activates the fingers of the hand. This tunnel should create a very safe passageway for the median nerve. However, due to repetitive stress, which could come from many different occupations or an injury, that space becomes compromised. The resulting pressure applied to the median nerve is the culprit triggering pain.Certain jobs that involve repeating the same motion with your

arm over a long time may raise your chances of getting the condition. Often, no single cause can be identified.The fact is, the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome is

not just confined to people in a few industries or jobs. Some of the careers where it is especially common are in those performing assembly line work -- manufacturing, sewing, finishing, cleaning, meat cutters, cashiers, data entry personnel, massage therapists, assembly line workers, sewers or knitters, bakers, hair stylists, barbers, musicians, poultry or fish packing, and many others. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be made even worse if repeated

motion causing the pain is continued, or there is prolonged exposure to vibrations from using hand or power tools.If you are experiencing chronic pain in your hand, arm or

wrist, check with your medical doctor for the proper diagnosis. If your thoughts are confirmed, the typical medical model may recommend any of the following:Steroid injections - Corticosteroid, or cortisone that can be

injected into the carpal tunnel. Although these injections often relieve painful symptoms or help calm a flare-up of symptoms, their effect is sometimes only temporary. Surgery – This can be invasive, and not always an effective

treatment for CTS. There are the benefits and potential risks involved.

"I send my patients with soft tissue pain to Robert for Rolf Structural Integration"

Sharon Oliver, M.D

* Shoulders rounded and tense? * Are you less flexible than you use to be? * Chronic hip, neck or lower back pain? * Does your body feel beaten down & compressed? Structural Integration (Rolfing") can: * Improve your posture dramatically * Assist in breathing easier and deeper * Improve your game (yoga, golf, etc.) * Make being in your body joyous and uplifting

Robert Auerbach, Certified Advance Rolf Practitioner – Family Constellations workshop facilitator

Certain drugs – can relieve immediate pain, but should be viewed as a temporary solution since long-term use of them has side effects. Don’t settle for the typical medical model approach. There are many options to consider.Alternative Possible Solutions to

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:The best way to treat CTS is in its early

stages. Here are some possible solutions to consider. Avoiding positions that overextend

your wrist – This simple and often overlooked approach can be extremely effective. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”Treatment of any underlying

conditions you may have - Underlying conditions such as diabetes or arthritis are common contributing factors to CTS.Brace or splint - One form of treatment

is the use of a brace or splint during work activities or while sleeping. This serves to restrict the movement of the wrist so as not to exacerbate the condition.Physical Therapy – PT stretches and

exercises designed to take pressure off the median nerve can be effective in and by itself or used in conjunction with other forms of treatment.Herbs -Certain herbs can help reduce

the symptoms of CTS.Acupuncture - an ancient technique of

traditional Chinese medicine, has long been used to treat chronic pain.Scenar – A device that produces a

micro-current frequency that mirrors the

body’s own electrical energy generated by the central nervous system. Since it mirrors the body’s own frequency it is not resisted or rejected by the body. Thus, it reduces inflammation by activating the body’s own self-healing

mechanisms.Rolfing – This approach uses applied

pressure to the connective tissue/fascial muscular wrappings along with facilitative movements. Rolfing will help resolve old postural patterns, many of which get anchored by our occupations. Can be effective in and by itself, or used in conjunction with other forms of treatment to alleviate CTS.Carpal Solution™ - a bandage like

and supportive device that is a proven therapy for CTS. It works by wrapping around the thumb and little finger, creating a stretch that opens up the Carpal Tunnel. I have found this product very effective. Now, back to Alice. Fortunately, she

found a way to manage her CTS through a combination of alternative solutions including herbs, acupuncture, and Rolfing. She is now leading a happy and productive life again. How about you? Life is far too short

for you to needlessly suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Don’t wait. Be proactive when the first signs of CTS are experienced. Seek help from the proper health practitioners. Keep looking until you find a healthy solution or combination of solutions that work for you. Remember, other people have been where you are now and have found a way. So can you.

Shifting Up in 2019By Eve Wilson

Entering this New Year, be prepared to shift up vibrationally. A new reality has been birthing in spirit for some time and it is growing much stronger this year as it comes more fully within reach of our human experience. The old reality is still obviously present, though it may feel increasingly like shifting sand under our feet. When we focus our heart and will into alignment with our Higher Self, we will find ourselves shifting up onto a surprisingly firm foundation where it is easier for us to thrive. When the contracts for the new world came online in

December of 2012, a new level of unity with Higher Self was initiated. We are experiencing the results of that in two ways. The old way of things is crumbling and the foundation of the new is growing stronger. 2019 reveals the new world foundation beginning to be strong enough to hold us as we shift up vibrationally to find increased unity with higher intelligence and love.Things that help this shift up include spiritual meditation,

journaling, prayer, tuning and clearing chakras and aura, and holding the intention to be guided by Inner Wisdom and Higher Self. Since what we are aiming for is a truly new experience,

our spiritual work from the past can be helpful, but we may need to let go of some old beliefs and assumptions. If we have allowed our own true Higher Self and Inner Wisdom to be our center and to guide our lives, the transition is easier. Our new world self is a unique focus of the One, unlike

all others. No system of spirituality or belief and no prior experience can prepare us for the new level of individuality we are facing. We need to be open to trusting our own true self as we step into this next experience of unity and wholeness. In my work as a healer, ascension worker and trainer of healers, I help people strengthen their ability to make this transition into their unique gifts and opportunities. I am skilled at identifying where they are stuck in old world identity or soul contracts and help them own their power to release the past so they can live fully in their present and shift up vibrationally.This article was inspired when I spent 2 ½ hours with an IT

person cleaning up my computer which was running incredibly slow. Together we explored what could be deleted, adjusted or updated, and now my computer is running easy and smooth again! That could be a metaphor for what I do spiritually for my clients and students. After a treatment, they may feel like they’ve received a brand new system; efficient and ready to work at the higher vibrations of the new world. If you do spiritual practices like chakra tuning and aura

clearing, try asking your Inner Wisdom to help you shift up to your new world chakras and aura. These are already there for you at that new vibration. We call this higher level of life, the new world, and it is available to everyone, but living there is a choice, at least for the foreseeable future. To shift up to the new world, breathe deep into your heart where your Inner Wisdom is easiest to access. Center in that still, sweet place within, and relax into the intention to live in your new world self within the new world. Then, welcome the shift up. Your new world vibration will continue to rise and grow stronger day by day as you ascend.Many of those who have been following my international-

award-winning blog, published articles, my book or classes,

have been choosing to live in their new world self in the new world for some time with increasing success. However, they probably have needed to renew this intention often, sometimes multiple times a day, because the old world tugs them back through fear, worry or hateful energies. What I am seeing is that it will be easier to hold the new world focus as this year unfolds! And as more and more of us learn to live in that experience, it strengthens the new world for everyone on Earth. So, if you sometimes feel like your security is crumbling, try

choosing your new world self and shift up to the level where something wonderful is being created through unconditional love and unity. There you will find that as some old things fall away, that allows your vibration to shift up so that something better comes to focus and you are supported in a new way. 2019 appears to be a blessed opportunity to learn to live in this new way.Eve Wilson

Releasing ShameBy Lezlie Cebulski

Improve the Health of Your Body and Mind by Releasing Shame, Using Holistic Therapies

In ancient times, shame originated as a tactic to control tribal members. Tribes would protect members if they did not step outside of the “pale” or defined territories, but if a member did not obey the tribal rules, the tribe exercised abandonment or shame. Abandonment or shame/shunning meant struggle or death, as survival depended upon living within the protection of the tribe. Today, many religions also use shame or the fear of being shamed as a method to instill obedience to religious rules.

Like ancient tribes and religions, families use shame in the same way to control family members. Dysfunctional family expectations may be to keep the “dirty secrets” of alcoholism, sexual abuse, addictions to food or drugs, and hoarding. This sense of shame in family members is passed down from one generation to another, often without members being consciously aware of it. Shame may also originate from negative comments on physical appearance, poor academic performance, learning disabilities, social status, financial struggle, chronic illness, and physical challenges.

Shame is an emotion that is toxic because it internalizes into negative self-worth. Shame tells us that “we are not good enough.” Unlike shame, guilt is an emotion which is only attributed to behavior, not the person. Guilt says, “I did something bad.” Shame says, “You are a bad person.” Shame is an emotion highly correlated with anxiety, depression, addictions, chronic pain, digestive disorders, eating disorders, perfectionism, compulsive behaviors,

social behaviors, violence, and bullying.

Emotionally, shame can drive us to not feeling good enough, needing and seeking approval. Shame can lead us to withdraw from a social connection or act out in anger. Shame can cause bonding with others who reinforce feelings of victimhood. These unhealthy relationships can spiral into more self-hatred and self-abuse. Living with shame is damaging to self-worth and makes it difficult to make positive life choices based on self-love and care.

Physically, shame drains vitality and can be part of the cause of dis-ease. A Bucknell University researcher, Jean M. Lamont, found that women who felt body-shame tended to have more infections and overall lower levels of health. I personally believe this phenomenon is caused by mind-body interactions via neuropeptides (Drs. Candice Pert, Bruce Lipton & Joe Dispenza.) Also, if a person feels body-shame, she/he cannot love her/his body. Lack of self-love leads to lack of self-care leads to poor health.

Another study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine found that feelings of shame increased pro-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are a large group of proteins, peptides or glycoproteins secreted by cells of the immune system which mediate immunity and inflammation.

We know that shame is toxic to our body, mind, and spirit. What can be done about it?

Story to Define You

The ego wants to protect the self from the pain of shame so, it can be difficult to voice the cause of shame. Shame thrives in secrecy. Finding a safe support group, therapist, or holistic mental health practitioner to discuss your source of shame helps release it. By breaking the secrecy and connecting with support, you can be vulnerable. Brené Brown’s work reminds us that when people have a healthy connection with appropriate boundaries and vulnerability, shame cannot exist.

Safely telling your story with vulnerability will help set you free from shame. However, after a while, telling your story can become a trap. The ego starts to identify with it, and “the story” can keep you stuck from feeling truly free. Discussing the source of shame is the first step in the healing process.

Letting go of your story and the source of shame is freedom. The memories are there, although foggy, they do not matter anymore. So how do you let go of your source of shame and move on? Some effective methods are described below.

EFT Tapping – This is an energy meridian technique which stimulates mind-body points to release stagnant energy and dissipate energy which gives negative emotions a life of their own. It breaks the emotional patterns and allows emotional re-patterning of self-love and forgiveness.

Essential Oils – Aromatherapy via the olfactory system stimulates the amygdala in the brain’s limbic system, the emotional center for the brain. This helps emotional release, especially when combined with EFT Tapping.

Flower Essences – Originally created by Dr. Edward Bach in England, there are over 1200 flower essences in

production worldwide today. There are many flower essences which gently help increase awareness of emotional issues so that they can be consciously managed. (with EFT Tapping & Oils)

Spiritual Guidance - Connecting with your higher power and divinity within helps you to redefine yourself as a child of God, precious and worthy of self-love and care.

Combining the above methods helps speed the process of releasing shame and the identification of it. A gifted, knowledge practitioner can apply a combination of the above and help you release shame and free your physical and emotional energy and focus on the healthy life you want to create.

The underbelly of the human psyche, what is often referred to as our dark side, is the origin of every act of self-sabotage. Birthed out of shame, fear, and denial, it misdirects our good intentions and drives us to unthinkable acts of self-destruction and not-so-unbelievable acts of self-sabotage. ~Debbie Ford

Detoxification!By Dr. Jacob H. Karl, DC

At this point, you have probably heard one of the hottest words in the health and wellness field. DETOXIFICATION! Everybody has a say on it yet most don’t understand it. There are naysayers who shout from the tops of their Facebook page, “There’s no such thing as detoxing via (insert new internet fad)” and on the other end of the spectrum (via their Facebook page) “I was about to die until I drank this. PM me for info.” One of my favorite lines and I have to agree a little bit with it, is “If it says it clears toxins but it or the person selling it can’t name those toxins, it’s probably a sham.” To know what’s real you have to educate yourself.Let’s talk toxins and where they come from. Honestly, they

come at us from so many angles. There are toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the creams we put on our skin, the pans we cook our food in, the plastics we store our food in, the ground we play on, etc. The list can go forever. I want to focus on just a few areas here, and in case you were wondering, all of these toxins do have names. Here is a sampling of them and where they are from.First is air pollution. This is one that we all come in contact

with and it doesn’t matter what filter you put on your furnace. It doesn’t grab everything and sooner or later you have to walk outside. Air pollution contains many different heavy metals, VOCs, and fine particulate matter (particulates smaller than 2.5 micrometers that can pass through lung tissue.) Often this comes from various factories and plants near and far around the world. Winds in the atmosphere can carry these things from very great distances.Our food supply is chock full of weird things. For example,

non-organic chicken contains cyanide (helps plump chickens faster than regular feed alone), pesticides and fungicides are on heavily sprayed fruits, veggies, and even coffee, which are toxic, estrogenic, and disrupt your hormone balance. There are antibiotics and heavy metals in farm-raised fish (methylmercury is big here). These are just a few of the non-processed foods with different toxins. Water contains various things like excess chlorine, fluoride, and copper. The biggest news-maker right now is the lead in public drinking water in Flint and also recently discovered in Detroit. Processed/prepacked foods and sauces

often contain a slew of different chemicals and neurotoxins like MSG (monosodium glutamate) and Aspartame that come in various names.Health and beauty creams

often contain chemicals like parabens, phthalates, triclosan, and oxybenzone. These have been linked to inflammation, cancer, and hormone disruption. Heating food in plastics imparts phthalates into foods. Phthalates, in particular, have been heavily linked to hormone disruption and lowering sperm count.

I hope at this point you can see there are NUMEROUS names for many of the toxins we encounter. It is so overwhelming that our body cannot process them fast enough through normal detoxification, and therefore stores these toxins in fat cells as a way to try to quarantine them. This creates some problems because you cannot easily burn fats that have stored toxins. This is the cause of weight loss battles for many people. Those who do burn through those fats often feel sick and lousy because those toxins have become free throughout their body. There is a specific process of detoxification which happens

in three phases. Phase 1 is the process of releasing the toxin from the fat cell. Phase 2 is where the unlocked toxin is conjugated or converted from a fat-soluble toxin to a water-soluble toxin. This is vitally important because in phase 3 the actual elimination of the toxin cannot be done unless it is water soluble. Usually, a form of fiber absorbs the toxin and you eliminate this through a bowel movement. Nutrition plays a huge role in all three phases in order to release, conjugate, and eliminate toxins properly. Keeping your phases balanced is also crucial, or you can actually re-toxify yourself and feel sick. This is why detoxing is not a great idea to do on your own but should be done under the supervision of a doctor who knows when you need help in getting your detoxing phases balanced.We employ many different programs for detoxification -- from

toxin specific nutrition and ionization -- to specialized programs like the Standard Process 21-day purification. This is the most well-rounded and most successful one we use. It is very well structured and an easy-to-use program that does a great job at keeping all three phases in balance. It uses safe, concentrated nutritional supplements and a specific diet to help your organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and GI tract, release and safely process those stubborn toxins.It may surprise you but I actually do the Standard Process

purification once a year. Let’s face it, nobody is perfect. Not even me. I love the taste of craft beers, but I know I have to

clean my body after a year of those. This also helps me get rid of toxins that sneak into foods or drinks when you don’t see them, or toxins in the air that you can’t control. Here’s a list of reasons why my patients love to do the purification program: 1) Weight loss 2) Clearer skin 3) Hormone balance 4) More Energy 5) Easier mornings after having a few drinks the night before J. So if you are thinking about detoxing, wanting to

help balance hormones, or just lose some stubborn weight, give us a call and make an appointment. The Standard Process Purification is a great structure that we customize specifically for each person.

Make It A Happy New YearBy Reverend Ric

New Year is a time when so many of us will make a resolution to change in some way. The most common resolutions made at the beginning of 2019 were: Eat healthier, get more exercise, save more money, greater focus on self-care -- especially getting enough sleep-- read more, make new friends, learn a new skill and get a new job.These are great intentions for Americans. At some level of our

consciousness, we know that the way many of us live, work and care for ourselves can use significant improvement. And despite all of us knowing that we need to make course corrections in the direction of our lives, about 80% of the resolutions made on New Year’s Eve will fall by the wayside before February is finished. Why? If you are interested in real change, stack the deck in your

favor by creating a solid plan to approach personal change from a spiritual perspective. Some suggestions for your plan:Start by forgiving yourself -- you have always done the best you could at the time so release the past. We have all had enough shame for a lifetime. It is time to become your own chief cheerleader.Adopt or strengthen a Mindfulness practice that will help you remain focused on your intentions.Connect with like-minded people who will support your efforts. Life is better in Community!Work with an accountability partner, someone you trust to be honest with you.Set written goals that stretch you and are realistic. Once you achieve a goal, set another; inch by inch, day by day, is the sure way to stay on track.Remain conscious and track your progress. If you stumble, quickly forgive yourself and immediately take a positive step to get back on track. Do not listen to the perfectionist in your head that wants to throw in the towel at the first challenge.Use the power of your imagination to visualize the life you are creating. Make a Vision Board to assist you.Everyone wants to change something about their life but few

want to actually change. The reality is that change is always happening. The life you have now is a result of thousands of choices made over time. We humans always have the ability to choose again.You can make this New Year your best ever.Only Love,

Rev. Ric Spiritual Leader. Unity of Royal Oak Oak is #MoreThanAChurch, we’re a Center for Conscious Living

Are You Making Yourself Ill?By Phil Rosenbaum

Although this may be hard for many people to believe, it appears that we create our own illnesses. In fact, Bruce Lipton talks about the “nocebo effect” which is similar to the placebo effect except that it is negative. The placebo effect makes one well by believing he or she will get well, whereas the nocebo effect makes one ill because of the negative belief that you will become ill. The late Dolores Cannon (author and hypnotist) talked about

how powerful our minds are, and stated that we make ourselves sick. We do not do it consciously, but we do it nevertheless. It results from our subconscious trying to get our attention, and it does so by various aches and pains. If we don’t pay attention to what the subconscious mind is trying to tell us, the symptoms will keep getting worse until either we do pay attention or we get quite ill. Dolores cites many instances of how people make

themselves ill. As an example, if one has a choice of going in a new direction but is resisting, she states that problems in the hips often result. Or if one cannot “stomach” their job, digestive or stomach problems can result. Sometimes people feel they are carrying a heavy load, and as a result, they have problems with their backs. Another example she cites involves people who are unwilling to forgive or have a lot of resentment toward someone else. She mentions a man who was very angry at his ex-wife because he was not able to see his children. He had cancer throughout his body. Dolores told him that he had to forgive her and let it go. He replied that if he were to forgive her, “she’d win.” Dolores answered, “If you die of cancer she’ll win.” Dolores strongly believed that due to his unwillingness to forgive and let it go, he actually brought on cancer. The late Louise L. Hay also believed that illnesses often

reflect things that are going on in our lives. In her book, You Can Heal Your Life, she lists a large number of problems and illnesses and the probable causes. A few examples follow: arthritis resulting from resentment or criticism or feeling unloved; cataracts due to an inability to see a future free of darkness; colon problems resulting from fear of letting go and holding on to the past; earaches resulting from too much turmoil around you; and eye problems resulting from displeasure in what you see in your own life. Louise Hay, like Dolores Cannon, also believed that cancer can result from deep hurt, longstanding resentment, carrying hatred, or grief eating away at the self.

Both of these authors strongly believe that we create our own illnesses. On the positive side, however, we can also make ourselves well. Louise suggests affirmations, and Dolores recommends hypnosis. The combination of both would be even more powerful. One interesting point is that many times

people go to the doctor and get a prescription to deal with the illness. While this is often

helpful, the problem is that they are not getting to the real cause of the illness. For example, as to the man mentioned above who had cancer and would not forgive his ex-wife, when he was treated for cancer in one part of his body, cancer would show up in another part of his body. The treatment was not getting to the real cause of the problem. The power of hypnosis is that we can get to the root of

one’s problem by communicating with the subconscious. If the subconscious is creating the illness to get our attention, then the solution would be to find out what the subconscious is trying to tell us. Once we understand that, we can make the necessary changes and thus be able to heal the problem. Why not take advantage of the many benefits hypnosis

offers. Hypnosis is safe, relaxing and enjoyable, and it can resolve problems in a relatively short period of time, thus saving you both time and money. In addition, by finding out what the subconscious is trying to tell you, you can be spared more dire consequences.

If you would like to find out more about hypnosis, please call Phil Rosenbaum at 248-688-6469. Don’t wait until your problem gets out of control.

Guarantee Your Success for 2019 Have you considered that the intention or energy in which you

do something is as important (if not more) than what you do? “Heart’s electromagnetic field is 5000 stronger than the brain.” Candice Pert Ph.D, “Molecules To Emotion” Taking actions from the heart, is not a weak romantic notion,

but an invitation to live from real power. Love is the source, fuel, and energy that animates life as we know it. How are you viewing yourself? Are you starting the new

year with intention to fix your life, or creatively discover your divine nature? Why not begin from wholeness? One cell of your body has the pattern for a complete you. One atom of the Universe has information for the whole Universe. One drop of the ocean contains all the elements of the ocean. You are the Universe waking up to Itself. You are not broken. You are not your patterns or pain. You are beautiful expression of Infinite Presence. You are light of God, looking back at Itself. Every problem is asking you to birth a new quality within you.

Your purpose in life is to let LIFE move through you, as you, and in you. Instead of trying to fix yourself...BE yourself. You are here to become more Love, Beauty, Joy Compassion and Abundance. These are some of the qualities of your Soul. You are not hear to struggle, survive and try to fix your all your issues. You are here to dance, emerge, evolve, express and grow. You are not a project to be fixed, but a beautiful treasure to be discovered. “Action without love is just violence.” Dalai Lama Have you been to a healing professionals or experts that

unknowingly were trying to ‘fix’ you? There is a big difference in seeing a persons mental/physical health issue as who they are, verses as a small part of what is happening. Did they see you as whole person or a patient? One perspective pathologizes a person, identifies them as their problem and validates their perceived brokenness. The other perspective holds a vision of wholeness and invites a person into their True Self. Seeing someone with acceptance and vision... you heal others. The success of the words that are said or healing modality used, is dependent on consciousness it rests. Your own body can feel if YOU are coming from fear or love.

For example, are you intending self love when you exercise or getting rid of your ‘horrible fat’? Pursue weight loss from self judgment and you may loose the weight but still feel fat. How you identify yourself is how you will feel. Identify as a whole person and you will most likely, treat yourself better without having to strain yourself, to take care of yourself. Why not surrender to the beauty that you already are? Right

now. Start your healing journey from knowing your wholeness now. In addition, body shaming and trying to fix your perceived

brokenness adds an ‘unhealthy dose’ of stress hormones to your self-care. This is not productive. Self-acceptance is the foundation to lifelong change. Loving your weakness and strengths, you move into

real self-esteem. Your core block IS your core power. Just on the other side of your addictive pattern, or fear is a new understanding, creative idea, or insight to your divine nature. Pain is a gift to wake you up to who you are, not a curse to plague you the rest of your life. You have probably heard “the ends justify the means”. But

what if the ‘the means’ has a direct effect on your current happiness, sense of self and over-all sense of the Divine? Chose kindness towards yourself. Choose to see your emotions as children to be held. Intend to be your own friend as best as you can in the moment. As you love and accept what is, your actions will rise from a well-spring of inspiration instead of struggle and perspiration. In January come create a foundation for real change. Self

New BeginningsFor a More Powerful

Spiritual LifeBy Chrissie Blaze

The beginning of each year is like a fresh new canvas waiting to be painted with our thoughts, emotions and actions. Each day is a blank canvas. At this time, there is stillness and quietude in the ethers as this New Year arises. There is a feeling of possibility, of optimism, of hope and of expectancy. Perhaps this year will be better than the last. Perhaps our time will come; our true destiny will finally be revealed. This could be the year of our lifetime. The year stretches out before us, as yet untouched by our desires, our choices, our mistakes and our achievements. There is a feeling of purity about the New Year -- and a freshness of hours and minutes as yet untouched.Let us determine this year to awaken more fully to a life

that is richer and more filled with love than the life we have now. This awakening comes through realizing that we are not physical beings trying to find spirituality; we are spiritual beings inhabiting physical bodies. Spirituality is our true home; our destiny is not about materialistic pursuits but to awaken to our innate spirituality. This journey is known as the spiritual path.In order to live more fully as the spiritual being we really are,

let us begin by awakening every morning and remember that today is the day. It is the day when all that has passed before you is gone, and all your future dreams can be created anew. It is the day when you can choose to cast aside any fears, anger or guilt. This is the most important day in all your many lifetimes, for it is now.To live fully in the moment, to awaken to all life’s challenges

and opportunities, free of prejudice and fear and filled with love is easier said than done. However, every journey starts with a single step, and it begins the moment we awaken from our slumbers each morning.Let us regard each day as an opportunity for deeper love.

Most of us reading the Body Mind Spirit Guide are fortunate that our lives are not just about survival. We have the freedom to tread the spiritual path to our own enlightenment and also for the healing of this planet.This is the path that eventually we all shall tread. The urgency

of this time of change requires that more of us awaken to our destinies so that we can become agents of positive change. It is

Create Your New

Year!By Abby Lippitt

It’s a brand new year and it’s the perfect canvas for creating the life you wish to have. Imagine if you will, that you can create your year as you wish it to be by actively participating in its conception. I know what you’re thinking... that’s a bunch of fill in the blank... oooh you’d be surprised to find that this isn’t such a far-fetched concept; in fact, it just may be more truth than fiction.Due to the study of quantum physics, we now know we live in

a participatory universe. The observer effect demonstrates this in physics -- the observer effect is the theory that by observing a situation or phenomenon it changes that phenomenon. This means that you actively create your world. That being so, why not create the best experience for yourself? You can! Here’s how:1. Realize you have an active role in how your life unfolds and

take ownership of it. 2. Ask yourself, What is it that I want? 3. Believe in yourself and know that what you want is

possible.4. Once you have an idea of your goal, you then take

inventory to see if you have the necessary skills and income to produce the results.5. If perchance you don’t have the ability, then put aside some

of your time and resources to acquire the skills that you need by studying and finding additional support.6. Map out a plan for your year, featuring achievable small

goals that build upon each other to create long-term success.7. Visualize and feel your success.8. Take action; there is no time like the present to get started

on your path.9. Most important of all, love what you do and have fun doing

it! Be grateful for the sheer joy of going after your dreams, and you shall succeed!

Happy New Year! Namaste, AbbyAbby Lippitt is an Intuitive, TransFormational, Artist with a BFA in the Fine Arts and is a certified Theta Healer.

Journey Through

the Darkness into

the LightBy Leslie Blackburn,

MS RCST®

I stand in the power of fire. To do that has not been easy. I have met the deep darkness -- the darkest shadowy bits of my life journey ... I have cried and screamed and roared. I have curled up in a ball, I have torn away at the wounds in my bodies. I have felt the rising up and the fear and felt knocked back. I have felt myself resist the call, and try instead to fight my way along a path that I thought I “should” take. I have felt unsure of myself.I have seen the darkest parts of my journey brought to the

surface, I have faced facets of myself and my past that I never wanted to face -- that I tried oh so, so many times to sweep under a rug. That I begged in tears to simply “go away” so I didn’t have to deal with them. Does any of this sound familiar?I have faced these, and I have transmuted them.

Systematically, using my body as a spiritual sexual compass ... I have roarrrrred and moved, breathed and danced, purged and cleared -- and offered my heart in the deepest devotional love of divine support to literally transform what felt so scary into the creative life force that aligns me with my path. I have felt the ecstatic bliss of aliveness and connection, to literally return to

Increasing Prosperity

Using Crystals By Jennifer VanderWal

Due to the holidays, we may be watching our budget more than usual. Often, we over-spend during the holidays in our excitement to express our appreciation for others. While setting our New Years attainments, it can be beneficial to include our prosperity as well as financial success. Often our belief systems hold the keys as to what thoughts are usually telling us we are not deserving or worthy, which blocks us from our flow of infinite prosperity. It’s like asking for money with your fists closed. Using affirmations is very beneficial,

enabling us to focus more of our attention and energy on what we want instead of what we don’t want. I personally find mantras and affirmations also very beneficial for quieting a loud ego. You can chant a mantra to Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, “Om Sri Maha Lakshmyai Namah.” Or, use a quick simple affirmation to help you stay focused, such as, “I AM happy and grateful for my permanently, continually increasing infinite universal prosperity and abundance flowing to me now in all ways.” Or, “All my needs are supplied for and abundantly met by the universe.” There are a few stones great for helping

us attract, and be open and receptive to our universal abundance and prosperity. Aventurine brings clarity, helping us see what beliefs and thoughts blocking our flow of prosperity. Magnetite’s magnetic qualities make it a good stone for attracting anything -- be specific on your desires. Garnet awakens our inner knowing of our infinite prosperity, and also opens and energizes our base chakra. Ruby helps us follow our bliss and enhances our wealth and passion for life.

Placing magnetite, garnet or ruby under your feet can reenergize you by grounding you and bringing the earth’s energy up into your body. Citrine transmits and amplifies our manifestations, sending them back enshrouded in blessings of golden light. Jade instills gratitude for a long life and helps a business maintain its success. You can construct a crystal prosperity

array with any of the above-mentioned stones. If you want to attract money, use four pieces of magnetite, four pieces of citrine, with one garnet in the middle. Place it undisturbed in the south-east corner of your home; this will balance and strengthen the prosperity area of your home and life. You can hold a citrine or quartz crystal

in your hand while visualizing and repeating your affirmation. Squeeze the crystal a few times to activate the energy. After doing this for 15 minutes, your crystal is now programmed and is sending out energy into the universe to aid you in attracting your infinite universal prosperity and abundance that you are so worthy and deserving of.

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

By Jim Hullihan

Some people are just doomed to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most

celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers literally cringed when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists for the next semester. He wasn’t very talkative, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. He had flunked almost every class by the time he entered his senior year, yet was being passed on each year to a higher grade level. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. T. J. was moving on, but definitely not moving up.I met T. J. for the first time at a weekend

leadership retreat. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. T. J. was one of 405 students who signed up.When I showed up to lead their first

retreat, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have a total spectrum represented today, from the student body president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.” Somehow, I knew that I wasn’t the first to hear about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.At the start of the retreat, T. J. was

literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups, didn’t seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in.

The ice really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J.’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening. T. J. was a smart guy, and he had some great ideas.The next day, T. J. was very active in all

the sessions. By the end of the retreat, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected T. J. co-chairman of the team. The student council president would be taking his instruction from T. J. Ware.When T. J. showed up at school

on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The very first communitywide service project was to be a giant food drive, organized by the Homeless Project team. These teachers couldn’t believe that the principal would allow this crucial beginning to a prestigious, three-year action plan to stay

in the incapable hands of T. J. Ware.They reminded the principal, “He has

an arrest record as long as your arm. He’ll probably steal half the food.” Mr. Coggshall reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce its practice until true change can take place. The teachers left the meeting shaking their heads in disgust, firmly convinced that failure was imminent.Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends

led a group of 70 students in a drive to collect food. They collected a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food took care of needy families in the area for 75 days.The local newspaper covered the event

with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J.’s picture was up there for doing something great, for leading a record-setting food drive. Every day he was reminded about what he did. He was being acknowledged as leadership material.T. J. started showing up at school

every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. He led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless shelter. The event he started now yields 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.

T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days.Note: This story is taken from the

inspiring book series Chicken Soup for the Soul

UnexpectedNew Beginnings

By Scarlet Ireland

“And suddenly you just know it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” -- Meister Eckhart

2019 is upon us, and many are thinking of New Year’s resolutions. Whether it is giving up a bad habit or starting anew, good one; change is in the air! Our intentions are in the right place. We want to improve our life and the life around us. The timing is spot on too -- leaving the tired, old last year behind and moving into the brand new, sparkly year!

But. What. If. We. Didn’t?

What if we trusted ourselves, our path, our intentions of being the best person we can possibly be ... and let it flow from there?

No Planning, No Pushing, No Controlling, No Organizing, No Expectation, No Disappointment, No Added Expense ... Just Say No.

“Don’t try so hard. The best things come when you least expect them.” -- Unknown

What if we went about this differently?

Perhaps it is time to say YES to acceptance of who we are?

Or at least to as much as we are able, with love?

Maybe it is time to stop trying so hard and allow the magic of the unexpected to grace our life?

Nice surprises. Remember them?

Unexpected can be a good thing -- try trusting it!

This is a new kind of resolution! When we embrace change, change embraces us.

“The only constant in life, is change.” -- Heraclitus

The Silver Thread:

The Tiger’s NestBy Dr. Michael Abramsky

The Tiger’s Nest (Paro

Taktsang), is the highest monastery in the world. It is a 2.5-hour climb to 10, 600 feet up through the dense Bhutanese forest, and is located on a cliffside in the upper Paro Valley.The monastery was built in

1692, around a cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days, and three hours. The legend is that Guru Padmasambhava flew there on the back of a pregnant Tigress, as a consort or companion.Tibetan Buddhism and its sisters in

northern India and Bhutan maintain vestiges of their ancient religion Bon, which was highly animistic, attributing soul to inanimate objects of nature and animals. Graphic images of these archetypal mythological animals were common, to depict themes and personal qualities.The tiger is indigenous to Asia, and

it is Asia ’s king of the jungle. Only other tigers or men are its enemies and equals. In various mythologies, the tiger represents the qualities of raw physical power, invincibility, and strategy in hunting its prey. The tiger is the ultimate predator, stalking its prey for days and laying patiently in waiting until it is opportune to strike.The tiger, in its human incarnation, is

the warrior archetype.After arriving on the mountain, Guru

Padmasambhava meditated in the cave, meditating and studying ancient texts. One is the Phurbu, a text on the three-

Some of these goals can be mental, emotional or some physical, in any case, STOP! It’s important to set attainable goals. God can help us reach our full potential. We at Michigan Psychic Fair will help you on your new path for the New Year and many years down the road. We have beautiful stones and crystals

sided dagger where one of each three sides represents the three poisons of Buddhism: anger, greed, ignorance. These afflictive emotions destroy the human spirit and tie mankind to the wheel of life in suffering. If the dagger is in the hands of the right man, it has the power to transform or control these afflictions. The pregnant tiger

symbolizes the anger and aggression with which all humans are pregnant, according to T. Sangay Wangchuk. The tiger in flight suggests that anger and aggression have no borders. By riding the tiger, the Guru kept the

harmful force of anger from breaking out into the world. The climb to the Tiger’s Nest became

my meditation on my inner tiger and my Guru. I ride the tiger often. My anger engulfs me. It is my primary reaction when things do not go my way -- from family and professional disappointments to traffic jams. I tame my tiger through the Guru’s teachings on compassion, love, and gratitude. I have come to learn that my tiger is never subdued, only temporarily stunned. He will bare his teeth and wave his claws soon again, and I will engage him in battle once more.“Subdue these forces and live a happy

life, or let them exist untamed within us and create unhappiness.”

5 Steps to Setting Powerful Intentions

By Deepak Chopra, M.D.

Intention is the starting point of every dream. It is the creative power that fulfills all of our needs, whether for money, relationships, spiritual awakening, or love.Everything that happens in the universe begins with intention.

When I decide to buy a birthday present, wiggle my toes, or call a friend, it all starts with intention.The sages of India observed thousands of years ago that

our destiny is ultimately shaped by our deepest intentions and desires. The classic Vedic text known as the Upanishads declares, “You are what your deepest desire is. As your desire is, so is your intention. As your intention is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.”An intention is a directed impulse of consciousness that

contains the seed form of that which you aim to create. Like real seeds, intentions can’t grow if you hold on to them. Only when you release your intentions into the fertile depths of your consciousness can they grow and flourish. In my book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, the Law of Intention and Desire lays out the five steps for harnessing the power of intention to create anything you desire.1. Slip into the GapMost of the time our mind is caught up in thoughts, emotions,

and memories. Beyond this noisy internal dialogue is a state of pure awareness that is sometimes referred to as “the gap.” One of the most effective tools we have for entering the gap is meditation. Meditation takes you beyond the ego-mind into the silence and stillness of pure consciousness. This is the ideal state in which to plant your seeds of intention.2. Release Your Intentions and DesiresOnce you’re established in a state of restful awareness,

release your intentions and desires. The best time to plant your intentions is during the period after meditation, while your awareness remains centered in the quiet field of all possibilities. After you set an intention, let it go—simply stop thinking about it. Continue this process for a few minutes after your meditation period each day.3. Remain Centered in a State of Restful AwarenessIntention is much more powerful when it comes from a place

of contentment than if it arises from a sense of lack or need. Stay centered and refuse to be influenced by other people’s doubts or criticisms. Your higher self knows that everything is all right and will be all right, even without knowing the timing or the

details of what will happen.4. Detach from the OutcomeRelinquish your rigid attachment to a

specific result and live in the wisdom of uncertainty. Attachment is based on fear and insecurity, while detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Intend for everything to work out as it should, then let go and allow opportunities and openings to come your way.5. Let the Universe Handle the DetailsYour focused intentions set the infinite

organizing power of the universe in motion. Trust that infinite organizing power to orchestrate the complete fulfillment of your desires. Don’t listen to the voice that says that you have to be in charge, that obsessive vigilance is the only way to get anything done. The outcome that you try so hard to force may not be as good for you as the one that comes naturally. You have released your intentions into the fertile ground of pure potentiality, and they will bloom when the season is right.https://www.deepakchopra.com/

Many things are not as simple as they may seem; reflection, releasing and letting go is undoubtedly one of them -- or three of them. Letting go of old habits or relationships takes lots of time and commitment, focus and consistency. The good news about reflection is that

it can be free to be able to choose what we want for our existence. To exercise this potential freedom by releasing, and, we must be willing to open up and remove the blocks by letting go. Letting go helps us live in a more

peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. Our releasing and letting go allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. It frees us from unnecessary stresses. Starting the New Year free from unnecessary baggage by releasing the guilt and/or past mistakes or heal past traumas in our life, takes reflection and ownership of the experience.Rather than making resolutions for

2019, commit to gaining awareness of yourself, as it is said in the serenity prayer, inviting us to learn the difference between the things we can and cannot change. It also speaks to a third aspect of unburdening our stress. That is the practice of letting go of impossible situations -- another “easy to say, difficult to do” habit to cultivate. The practice of reflection will help with sorting what to work on and what to let go of. The most important thing is not to carry things you do not need to carry, not to feel bad about it and not to question yourself for making the decision.Reflection is linked to the practice of

mindfulness; a capacity to be present

to our experience moment by moment. In this content, being mindful avails the awareness of opportunities. Small opportunities are present every day and so is the experience of reflection, being present and aware of the constant opportunities. The experience of standing up for ourselves and standing in our truth is energizing in so many unexpected ways.Reflection is only one element to help

us become aware of our greatness. Many professions are now making reflection a mandatory requirement or at least a strong recommendation in many corporations. Cultivating this capacity to look at work and yourself in action ignites creativity and expansive thinking. Reflection opens up a door to wonder and to look at things from a broader perspective. We cannot change what we do not look at or are unaware of. There is no capacity to choose if the choices are beyond the field of one’s awareness. Learning our rhythm and attitude of self-knowledge is essential for human development in the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual dimensions.There is a well known saying in the

Unity teachings, “Let go and Let God.” It goes on to say in part, “...As I let go of the need to figure out my life intellectually, my internal and eternal divine wisdom effortlessly guides my path. When I let go of the need for recognition or approval, feelings of love and self-worth fills me.” Reflect, release and let go.Namaste, Peace, & BlessingsGwendolyn

You Are What You Eat!By Susan deCaussin

It’s January! A time when many people sign-up for a gym membership, join a weight loss group and resolve to take on a healthier lifestyle. Even if you don’t actually do those things, most likely those thoughts are still at the forefront of your mind, as society places an emphasis on getting healthy at this time of year. You’ve most likely heard the phrase,

“You are what you eat”, and have thought about the obvious reference to your food choices. However, I’d like to take that thought to a deeper level. Yes, our state of physical health is directly linked to the quality of the food we eat, but there’s so much more that affects us beyond diet. Everything we are exposed to can influence our wellness on many different levels. And just like balancing your diet, it’s important to police other aspects of your life as well, to ensure a healthy state of well-being.While you can’t eliminate all negative

people and situations from life, there are always choices you can make that will directly influence the overall impact they have on you. We are energetic beings -- physical

bodies that are powered by an energy source. While food provides the building blocks for a strong and healthy physical body, the energy that animates us also

has a powerful impact on our state of health. When our energy is lowered, due to all sorts of influences, it diminishes the vibration of the source that powers us, providing an avenue for illness and dis-ease to enter in. Everything from negative news to negative self-talk contributes to this lowering effect. So, what are the negative influences

that we should guard against and how can we move beyond them? For starters, it’s important to realize that we can find good and bad in everything. Even a diamond, when magnified, has imperfections. The key to surrounding yourself with positivity isn’t simply about avoiding negative people and situations. It’s about being able to shift your perspective, on everything you encounter, and place your focus on the good. Children are great at this. While an adult tends to worry about the outcome of every situation, a child simply lives in the excitement and wonder of the moment -- releasing the need to be burdened by the “what if’s” in life. We can learn a lot from that example.

It’s so important to regularly remind ourselves to live consciously in the

moment -- every moment -- as it happens. When you come to understand that the past cannot be changed and you realize that fearing the future is fruitless, you can stop handing your power away and be fully present in the only thing that you DO have control over -- the now. It’s a given that like attracts like. When

you fill yourself with fear, by worrying about things that you can’t change, you are shifting to a lower vibration. At this point, anxiety enters in and you can feel as if you’ve lost control. Ironically, it’s not that you’ve lost anything...you’re simply trying to manage things that are not yours to manage. When you stop trying to control your

surroundings, you can then shift your attention inward. By changing the way you react to the outside world, you can permanently take your life in a new, positive direction. The energy that was being directed away from you can now be used to power a healthier state of being, in mind, body, and spirit! So, as you think about becoming a

healthier version of you, don’t lose sight of your energetic body. The energy that animates you directly affects your physical health. Police your thoughts by choosing to focus on goodness. Guard yourself against outside influences. And, stop trying to manage what is not yours to manage. Instead, control your surroundings by controlling your reactions and start changing your energetic diet today!

Use Everything You Were Given!By Faith Brower

We each have a significant time of the year that symbolizes new beginnings. For some, it is their birthday, a fresh start. New Years Day triggers an opportunity to start something new, to set goals. Other folks think of Christmas as the season that marks the birth of great possibilities. These times are about letting go of the past and putting aside our failures and disappointments to start with a new perspective.We, humans, want a fresh look at the future. We thrive on

wonderful possibilities and our desires manifesting. We cherish that feeling of HOPE. And yet, we often do not go after a new beginning. We pass that significant marker of time and repeat what we have always been doing. So what will jump-start us to make a change in our lives?The answer is nothing profound. It is simply to take one small

step. Doing this starts the momentum forward. If you do not know where to start, think about the answers to the following questions:1. Do you ever see photos of your friends who have gone

somewhere fun and you thought you would like to do that too? Write down those places.

2. When you read holiday letters that accompanied cards, did you think that you could never write one because your life is so mundane? Make a list of what happened in your life this past year that you are grateful for and the folks you are grateful for. Surprisingly, memories will pop up about very cool things you have participated in this past year.3. What have you been putting off to do, to taste or see?

Make a list.4. What comes after the phrase “When I have the time, I

will…”?New beginnings are up to you. You are responsible for your

life. This doesn’t mean that you do it all alone. Start by writing down the answers to some of the above questions or list other desires you have. Research the places, investigate, set an appointment, or take another small step. Yes, there will always be obstacles that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can ignore them and do it anyway.

Remember what Erma Bombeck said. “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ’I used everything you gave me.’ ”

Creating an Intention Crystal for Your New

Year’s SuccessWorking with crystals is a powerful

tool for manifesting your New Year’s resolutions and intentions.By Deirdre Hade

As a mystic, spiritual teacher and guide for over 30 years I am often asked, “What does it mean to set an intention?” and “Are there any tools I can use to succeed in reaching my desired intention?”To answer these questions we first must

understand what an intention is. What is the difference between setting an intention and simply having a desire?An intention is an extremely focused

thought that carries with it the manifesting energy of heart (heart’s desire). Powerfully focused energy is like a river of water. When water is harnessed and channeled in a specific direction, that water is very powerful. A powerful intention is like a river of flowing water. Simply put; focused energy manifests, unfocused energy does not.You can say, “I desire to lose weight.”

However, it’s what you do – what action you take, that will determine whether or not your intention manifests. Setting an intention is the first step; acting on that intention is the second, more difficult step. The follow through is where we usually fall short, because, let’s face it, it’s just plain hard to re-set a lifelong pattern.We often end up feeling frustrated and

guilty for not succeeding. The truth is change takes time, commitment and practice- daily, moment by moment, contrary action to an old way of being. When our lives are filled with stress, busyness, kids, and work, staying focused on a specific intention is daunting but not impossible.

I want to share with you some tools to succeed in achieving your intentions and your New Year’s resolutions.

Your Brain Power is Your Best Friend Your brain is an amazing powerhouse

and your best friend for helping you with your intention as long as you guide its thinking patterns. Your brain is like a computer. For years and years, you have programmed your brain to do certain things. It has learned behaviors and emotional responses that you may not even be aware of. You can change those behaviors by thinking differently. You can actually update your programming to better suit who you are today and who you want to be in the future. However, you are going to need your heart to make this possible, because the heart is the generator of your creating energy.So often we feel disconnected from

our hearts and souls because we’re operating on autopilot; we’ve let our brain’s programming run the show. It’s time to reconnect to your heart this New Year in order to make your resolution work. Go within the quiet center, the flame of hope in the middle of your heart. This is where your soul’s purpose resides. This is where your mystical heart power infuses your intention with the miracle creative process. This is why you’re setting your intention, your resolution, your New Year’s conviction, because deep in your heart you know this is an important change you need to

begin to live the life you truly desire.

Use an Intention CrystalA crystal can be the grounding object

you need to support you when you set an intention. Crystals carry a frequency, an energy, that when activated with your intention becomes a bridge, a conduit, a power object, to manifest. Designate a specific crystal to be your Intention Crystal. Your Intention Crystal will remind you and keep you on course to manifest your intention. This crystal will also give you the boost you need at the moment to make the correct choices that will lead to your success.This is how it works. Your brain uses

the world around it to inform you of your programming and patterns. Introduce a new object, such as a crystal, when you set your intention, and it informs your brain of your newly made resolution. Your brain and your heart react to the sight and feel of your crystal, associate it with the intention or resolution you set, and immediately begin to send out crystal energized thought patterns to fully activate the Law of Attraction. Look around you. What do the objects

in your surrounding mean to you? Do they bring you joy, make you feel good? They might make you feel successful, accomplished, or loved, or they might bring up old programming that you want to change. Your Intention Crystal is an object that reminds you that you are a spiritual being. As a spiritual being, you can adapt, grow, change and create.

Create A Ritual And Transform the Old Into A New Beginning.Creating a ritual around setting your

intention is fun and a powerful, energetic tool for succeeding in your intention. Your heart and brain love rituals! As a matter of fact, all habits are your brain/heart’s way of attempting to ritualize something. You are literally rewiring your

brain to manifest your intention every time you see or touch your Intention Crystal. Steps to activate your Intention Crystal:1) Set your Intention. Make your

resolution. In a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of life, sit, take a few breaths, get centered, and then speak your intention. You can say it out loud or in your head.2) Activate your Intention Crystal. Hold

your Intention Crystal in your hands as you say your intention/ resolution out loud.3) Ask for Divine Guidance and

Support. Say, “Divine Presence (God, Source, Angels, whatever you choose), affirm that my Intention Crystal will help me anchor this intention. When I see or touch my Intention Crystal, it will remind me of my commitment and assist me in my success, for you have filled me and my Intention Crystal with your powerful, miraculous light.” Your Intention Crystal has taken in the Power of Creation to Help you on Your Journey of Transforming.4) Listen to Deep Guidance and

Wisdom. With your Intention Crystal still in your hands, intention set, sit with it for a while and listen. You’re likely to hear 2 or 3 things from your soul’s purpose about what steps need to be taken to achieve your goal, such as, “Call this person, join that gym…”. Put your activated Intention Crystal in a special place. Write your intention down on a note, along with this affirmation, “I am worthy to receive the power of my intention, and I affirm my intention of _____ (a healthy body, or whatever your intention is) as fully manifesting today. When you use this tool, when you operate like this, magical things start to happen. You are operating from your soul’s purpose of personal power.5) Give Thanks. Say out loud, “I

give thanks to the Spiritual Creator for blessing my life and my intention.” How

do you know which crystal is best for your Intention Crystal? Choose a crystal that speaks to you, the one that draws you to it. You actually can’t make a wrong decision in this. Use a crystal you already have in your collection or find a new one. Either way is perfect. Here are some suggestions for you. The important thing is that you make this ritual yours with meaning and that you have fun. Fun unleashes creative energy. Good luck!• To find success in soul purpose

Spiritual HoroscopesBy Aluna Michaels, M.A.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) —

Happy birthday Capricorn! This month’s solar eclipse in your sign asks you to take stock of yourself. Meditate on what habits work for you, and which work against you. Be as loving and nonjudg-mental as possible! Just say, “Wow! This isn’t how I want to think/feel/act.” Affirm your capacity to make changes, and then make them. Also visualize, dwell and act upon how you do want to be. Dream BIG! Your mind is fertile ground to grow a new crop of happiness and fulfillment!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — Don’t be afraid to quiet your mind and ven-

ture into your subconscious. It’s hard for you to let go of logic and allow vulnerabil-ity or irrational thoughts to arise. Meditate and just let it be weird or messy. Amazing treasures come out of the kooky crap! Also, use affirmations to stop negative thoughts in their tracks. You’ll overcome deep-rooted childhood issues. On a fun note, you can start a luscious relation-ship with someone you meet from a cool hobby or an awesome group of friends. If in a current partnership, you’ll rediscover each other in surprising ways.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Pursue things you love! You deserve to have

friendships that meet your needs, and to do activities that fill you with joy. Meditate on how you thwart your own pleasure, or (horrors!) how you blame others for not allowing you to have fun. Explore old be-liefs about how speaking-up for yourself or following your own path creates guilt. Where does that come from? You can re-wire that program! Career-wise, you can get an awesome promotion, raise or a new job. Financial boons can come along too. You deserve these blessings!

Aries (March 21 – April 19) — Energetic, exciting Mars enters your

sign! It’s a once every two year high point for initiating changes. You can shift jobs, start a new relationship or make strides in self-esteem. The solar eclipse this month breaks longstanding patterns that make you react in self-defeating ways. Meditate on conflicts that arise and you’ll also be able to solve major puzzles, as well as forge new paths to success! You’ll also have insights into any financial issues, so that abundance flows in and stays in.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Mars, the planet of energy and excite-

ment, helps you find inner power that’s been covered by anger and frustration. Meditate on challenging issues from the past two years (a Mars cycle) and be willing to acknowledge the pain. This is blocked energy that you’re now tapping into! Having the courage to face what’s hidden enlivens and revitalizes you! You can also have financial breakthroughs. You’ll fix deep trust issues with important people in your life. You can even heal problems around sexuality. The solar eclipse brings re-commitment to your spiritual path. God isn’t a shaming par-ent, but can be a trusted ally who guides you wisely.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — You can start a new relationship, or a current

one heals and flourishes! To activate that “love juju” meditate on issues of trust and bonding. Everyone has had hurts in this department. Let the solar eclipse realign your heart so you feel safe to connect. Surround yourself with friends that be-lieve healthy partnerships are possible. Live from your own integrity and others will find theirs and mirror it back to you. If anything, you’d like to manifest, feel what your new reality will be like. Don’t merely wish it to be true!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — There might be relationship stress with the

solar eclipse. Before reacting to your partner, family members or co-workers, take time to nurture your inner self. Even if that only means a few deep breaths while focusing on your heart, you’ll gain instant poise. Meditate on the truth that every problem has a solution. When you’re out of “fight or flight”, you’ll likely tune into the graceful answer. Work can be busy, but exciting, with an awesome project coming your way. You can man-age everything because you’re always centered and guided from within!

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — The lunar eclipse in your sign reveals subcon-

scious programs that block success in relationships, or even career. Meditation, however, reveals hidden strengths that you have to achieve positive results! It’s not glamorous, but try forms of yoga that are very still, like yin or restorative prac-tices. The quiet reveals amazing richness and self-understanding, as well as pro-viding super stress-reduction! You’ll feel enthusiastic from this inner guidance. Releasing effort brings awareness. Then you’ll have more energy to implement the perfect actions!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — Cultivate gratitude for your family, relation-

ships, career, and your wonderful self! Resist the urge to pick on people and things in your mind, that “aren’t quite good enough”. The solar eclipse can bring out the glass-half-empty side of you. But keep heaping up the good

thoughts and see how much brighter your life seems! If single, you can meet someone who can be a long-term partner. If bonded, you can heal old “stuff” that blocks the fullness of love and fun. Mars brings opportunities for financial abundance. If you have any debt, you’ll be inspired to make strides to clear it up fast!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — This month’s eclipses clear out old family issues that inhibit the flow

of love in relationships. As you meditate to release your past, new doors open for fulfillment! You can also remove blocks to prosperity, and have more opportunities and recognition at work. Employ affir-mations throughout your day to help create a new reality. Also focus on the feeling of having the life you want; that makes you more magnetic! Be more social and resist homebody tendencies, so you don’t miss out on meeting some very awesome people!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — The power of words and thoughts are always transformative,

but especially now! The solar eclipse asks you to be extra conscious of underlying messages you say to yourself. Meditate to eliminate old thoughts that no longer serve you, and remain conscious throughout the day if they try to creep back in! January also brings exciting work opportunities and perhaps even a financial windfall! Dwell on prosperity and abun-dance and then watch it flow into your world.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — This is an awesome relationship month. You can meet a

new love, or have a deep level of blossoming in a current connection. You’ll be feeling happy and sexy! With the solar eclipse, meditate on finances and self-worth. You can be too happy-go-lucky with money and get yourself into problems. Invent a flex-ible disciplined budget so you can pay all your bills, create a savings and also have a “fun fund”. Rely on someone you trust to help with developing a livable plan you can stick with.

UnearthingOur Health

By Chef Deborah Lieder

There is an air of silence that fills this time of year. The hustle and bustle of the holidays are over and we are tucked warmly away in our homes. It’s a time of contemplation, going within. And generally, because it’s the New Year, we have the opportunity to release what no longer serves us, and bring in the new. When we do this, we set the energy in motion to rediscover our power, our potential. The way we fuel our body to have that energy is through food. Since Michigan winters are often cold and harsh, we

crave those hearty, warming foods. They ground us, stabilizes us and we receive that extra layer of warmth our body needs. Root vegetables and winter squashes deliver that sustenance in a healthful way. Not only are they nutrient rich -- containing vitamins A and C, magnesium, potassium, and dietary fiber -- they are generally lower in calories, gentler on our digestive system, and help maintain healthy eyes and skin. They are great at replacing grains and wheat while still giving us that full feeling that comes from a complex carbohydrate. Root vegetables and winter squashes contain

antioxidants which help fight cancer, protect brain function and reduce inflammation within the body. The fiber contained within these vegetables is efficient enough to help lower our cholesterol and therefore contribute to heart health. It is always best to choose a colorful variety, from carrots and yams to beets, parsnips, butternut and acorn squash. And don’t knock the “lowly” potato. It contains about 20 percent of our daily potassium and magnesium, which is important for bone and nerve health. When we release certain habits, the things that bind us,

we move into this sense of freedom. And from there, lies the potential to create, create something that is more in alignment with ourselves. We don’t have to conquer the world in one day, especially when it comes to food, but we can give ourselves the gift of clean, healthy eating.

Root Vegetable Hash4 ea. strips grass fed bacon (omit for vegetarian/vegan version)

2-4 T Olive Oil 1 ea. Onion, chopped

1/2 pound Carrots, diced2 c. Mushrooms, sliced

2 ea. Parsnips, diced2 ea. medium Sweet Potato, diced

2 c. Butternut Squash, diced1/2 head of Cauliflower2 ea. Apples, chopped

1 T. Rosemary, choppedSalt and pepper

Directions:Preheat oven to 400°. On a sheet pan, place cauliflower and drizzle

2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in large sauté pan or Dutch oven, render bacon. Remove, drain the fat into a container and set bacon aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of bacon fat (or olive oil if omitting bacon) in the sauté pan. Add mushrooms and sear for 2-3 minutes, or until the moisture is released. Add onion, carrot, parsnips, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and apples one at a time, sautéing a few minutes in between each addition. Allow to cook on the stove or put into the oven until the vegetables are cooked through. Toss in cauliflower and season with rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. We don’t have to conquer the world in one day, especially when it comes to food, but we can give ourselves the gift of clean, healthy eating one meal at a time.

Each Moment is a New Beginning

By Miche Lame’ Every moment is a new beginning.

We all make choices each and every moment of our lives, so each moment is a new beginning for the rest of your life. Be willing, right now, to take inventory of where and what your choices have brought to you this year. Are you happy with the life you’ve created? If not, by changing your thoughts, you can change your life. If yes, continue to monitor your thoughts and actions to keep on the path you are happy with. You are blessed that every moment you

get the opportunity to create your life with each breath, each thought, and action you take. Why not create the life you want? Create a life where you are the best person you can be, being connected and living through Source, moment by moment, step by step. Take each experience as an opportunity for taking that pause, considering who you want to be in that moment -- where do you want your path to go, and what choices can get you there. What thoughts and actions can get you there? Create the energy and thoughts, actions, for the life you dream of. Becoming aware of your thoughts is

a new beginning to your new life. By changing your thoughts and the actions which follow, you have the potential to bring into your life, new experiences. Begin by monitoring your thoughts and

feelings; really pay attention to them and acknowledge your feelings toward everything you say throughout the day. It’s only when you really choose to become aware of your inner talk that you can begin to change it. Write down your inner talk, your thoughts. Ask yourself if your inner talk is what you really want to be telling yourself. Then choose what positive talk you would really like to be saying to yourself. If you say to yourself, I never

accomplish my goals, why bother making any? You could choose to replace it with something like I can take the steps to accomplish my goals. You can also ‘reality test’ your inner talk. Ask yourself, “Do I NEVER accomplish my goals? Then, find where the negative statement is not true. In this case, I’m sure you’ve had a goal before of driving to work, and you did. Small example, yet powerfully illustrates that you do accomplish some goals.You will find that your inner talk will

become much more affirming. You get

to rewrite your inner programs into ones that are raising you to be your very best self and accomplish your goals. Your energy and attitude will change as will your perspective and experience of life. In fact, you are setting yourself up for the potential for even more success in your future as each feeling and new positive inner self-talk makes your next step in life a new beginning towards the life of your dreams. You get to really know who you are and what you want on your path to accomplishing self-actualization. Now is the time to let go of old

programs and thoughts and create new programs and thoughts that will help you fulfill the potential for greatness that you have. Remember, you are part of Source. You have the greatness of Source within you. All you have to do is connect with it, be in the present moment, have right thinking as guided by Source, and follow through to have your new beginning for the life you want. Then repeat and repeat... and repeat while you create the life you desire. Attract the people to you who will be

positively supportive. Get the career that makes your heart sing. Every experience is another opportunity to learn, grow, and choose your thoughts and actions so that you can create the life you not only want but that you deserve. Each moment is filled with the potential

and opportunity to be your best and highest self and create the life you dream of. Let this moment be your new beginning for the life you desire. Live this new moment as it is your new beginning.

Happy New Year of New Creation it’s time to live with passion

By Todd Stockwell

Hello, my friends, Hope everyone is loving and enjoying the exercises and awakening we’ve been doing this past year and especially the amazing growth that comes with them. I’m running into more and more of you letting me know how valuable these exercises are for you and I am honored to be able to help you all on your paths. It’s very exciting to hear your growth so please make sure to share your experience with me and others. Hope your holidays were the greatest and most joyous you

have ever experienced. Let’s start the New Year off with a focus on a passion to fuel all you are here to do. It takes passion to propel us to move forward so we will also focus on moving forward.. We can continue with a similar process that we have with a

new focus. We will work inward so focus inward as we have in earlier exerciseson the flame at the base of the heart chakra. As we did in

those exercises, let’s begin with expanding that flame outward until it fills the room.Now also focus on a red flame just below your belly button.

Expand them both out and focus on the red reaching out in front of you as a stairway into the universe. Lean forward slightly with your head, place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and take three deep breathes. State with conviction to the universe that you are a creator...

Focus on the warmth within your heart and just below your belly button expanding even further out... now focus on the back of the heart chakra opening up and the back of the flame just below your belly button blasting a flame outward and let your system connect.

While focusing on fire start with this chant, UjhnowayvaazhNow meditate for 11 minutes, set a timer. Focus on air and begin again with this chant, JheeaayahaNow meditate again for 11 minutes.Don’t worry about a perfect pronunciation just feel the sounds of each letter. Focus on water and begin again with this chant, kaakuzhvaydhaNow meditate again for 11 minutes. Focus on Earth and begin again with this chant, ManuahtuhayummNow meditate again for 11 minutes and focus entirely on your true path.

Switch this up every day, one day do them all together, the

next day split each part up at different times of the day. Do the first when you wake in the morning, second midday and third before bedtime. Switch it up as many different ways as you can come up with. Let your self feel the expansion and connection. As always, it is very important to read and share this as much

as possible it will help you, your path, your awakening, your enlightenment and your truest service to the Universe. Exciting news, I will be doing special group awakening

sessions done as a wonderful guided meditation that will be specific for New Paradigm shifts as they are taking place at 6th Sensation in Westland, MI. Jan 17th and Jan 31st at 7:30 pm.I will also have a booth and will be doing special

empowerments and healing sessions this month at Michigan Psychic Fair in Livonia, and in Farmington Hills, MI. Be sure to check my Facebook page for exact locations. Also,

Ayahuasca Ceremony Weekend Trip in 2019

NEW BEGINNINGS: Feeling depressed? Lost? Confused? Have you ever been curious about wanting to know more about this life and why you are here? What’s your purpose? Would you like to explore beyond the confines of matter? I believe I can assist you in finding these things out, and more!

“ Let’s bypass the mundane conscious mind to explore the richness of that which is beyond the veil of this reality “

In the past one had to fly to Peru and head into the jungle to take part in these potential life-changing ceremonies. Not any longer! I am happy to announce that I will be taking a group of those who are beginning to wake up and ask deep intriguing questions. The good news is we do not have to fly, but drive, only 6 1/2 hours to Berea, Kentucky. I have already been there and found this place not only to be credible— but knowledgeable, respectful and clean. I am looking forward to going back. This will be one of many scheduled trips that I will be leading into 2019 and beyond. This may be your calling. We will be participating in two ayahuasca journeys; Friday evening and Saturday evening before heading home Sunday afternoon.The gentleman that will be there for guidance and to navigate our group, as well

as myself, is Demian Gover. To say we are in good hands is an understatement. Demian is a “ medicine man “ ordained by Oklevueha Native American Church and an ordained minister of the International Metaphysical Ministry, and is the chief minister of ONAC of the Peaceful Mountain Way; established in September of 2015 with over five hundred people as participants in their ceremonies thus far.To find out more about Oklevueha Native American Church please visit www.

peacefulmountainway.org. Here you can also join and become a member. Which is necessary to receive your membership card before taking part in their ceremony. On their site, they offer a plethora of information that is helpful. Please explore to know more.If interested email me at [email protected] or call me at 313-207-4483 I’ll

break down the price as well as answer any question you may have. We will be going together in a van that will lead to many great conversations on our trip to & fro. This will be a very informative trip that will keep you wanting to know more. I’ve been researching everything metaphysical for over a decade. We will leave on a Friday between 8-9 am and be back Sunday around 7-8pm.I look forward to sharing this awesome weekend with those who want to take part in self-exploration.The price includes lodging for both nights. The two ayahuasca The ride to and from. Organic vegetable soup after both ceremonies. Local eateries are available. We will eat super light over the weekend.
