    Candida: The Cause of A Lot of Things

     

    A friend was emailing me about an issue that sounded a bit like candida to me. Many women think of your classic yeast infection when they hear the word. Truth is, well over 60% of women are currently experiencing a candida overgrowth and don't even know it. Some shrug it off, but please understand that candida is a parasite, causes things like sluggish energy, emotional imbalances, affects your weight--not in a good way either, some researchers believe its an underlying cause of cancer and our emotional instability. Often the symptoms of this imbalance are treated (like years of anti-depressants for chronic emotional issues that block your crown chakra, affect your ability to feel anything, and cause major health problems) and do nothing to find and heal the root cause. If the root cause is in fact candida, all the symptoms would be healed by merely re-balancing the system.

     Candida doesn't always show up as a yeast infection.

     some good stuff to balance candida (besides a good detox kit)  are oil of oregano, grapefruit seed pectin, acidophilus, cut out gluten and ALL sugar for 1 month at least, LOTS of cinnamon any way you can get it into you. Home remedy: bring some water to a boil, turn the heat way down and toss in a cinnamon stick, let it simmer very lightly for a min 30 min. Drink it as much as you can, bath in it, douche with it. Candida cannot live in a cinnamon environment. Candida takes a long time to balance out...there's a lot to know on it.

    Autism & The Like

    When Gifteds Enter The World

     

    At this time in human history, the species is undergoing ascension in evolution.   If you have ever studied ‘The Hierarchy of Needs’ you know that people worry of their physical security (food, warmth) before they become interested in their place in the world, or spiritual attunement.  First we learn the basics of survival, and then move on up the ladder to things like family relations, love etc.  This concept is also described by the Chakra system—I highly suggest studying both.

     

    Humans have championed survival, science & intellect. We’re pretty high up on the ladder.  All that’s left is spiritual attunement. 

     

    A huge mass enlightenment is currently sweeping the planet and the human race is being attuned and adjusted. EVERYBODY is elevating in vibration—a new age dawns.

    Bloodlines are often adjusted by introducing a superior being into a mundane bloodline to elevate its frequency on a genetic level.  Let me put it simply—forgive my bluntness:

     

    Up until now 80% of the population existed to take up space, populate the world, and keep the machine running.  These people live in mundane futility.  Get a job, pay the bills, maybe breed once or twice and try to get a couple of laughs in before they die.  They are loved by other 80%’s but leave the planet quietly and really don’t do much to elevate humanity.

     

    20% were super humans that end up changing the face of humanity—think Mother Teresa or Gandhi. Some become that famous, others die unknown but nevertheless would have changed the life of every person that crossed their path.  These people live uncommon lives.

     

    These days its more of a 60/40 dynamic, and these super-kids are suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Kids these days mature faster—some blame TV and over-exposure—I believe its because they are older souls than normal and so evolve at a far more rapid rate.  I am getting calls from more & more parents saying that their children “see” spirits or experience other-worldly type phenomena. 

     

    I have learned over the years after reading for hundreds of parents that the tendency is to under-estimate a child’s potential.  Parents would much rather have a ‘normal-mundane’ 80% type child than the Gandhi type child. Its easier.  A normal kid blends in, maybe a few pretend dramas that most kids experience, fast food & TV companionship does just fine, public school systems do all the work.  Back in the day, 80% of children were OK with that. Parents aim for such children. Such children go to college & get respectable jobs, even a trade perhaps. They don’t need as much parental energy that a gifted needs.

     

    Now more & more children are born exceptional and parents don’t know what to do with the privilege because they are overwhelmed with the responsibility that these gifteds bring.  When a kid appears with autism or the like its treated as a disease. BULLSHIT!!!!!! Its not wrong—its HOLY!!!!

     

    These kids are born so spiritually attuned, so PERMANENTLY ROOTED IN THE PRESENT MOMENT WITHIN (something most say they aspire to) that this ‘normal’ existence is an illusion. Communication, playing, etc is an illusion. This world is an illusion. These children are so enlightened, they get that, and so escape in this inner world and ignore the illusion, because it is only the present moment within that counts. Does that mean that these kids can’t function physically and have to be catered to for life? Maybe-and even if that is so, it’s a blessing unto the world.  No one wants their kid to be a charity case, yet imagine all the good karma these kids make available to anyone willing to help them!

     

    So your kid doesn’t look or act ‘normal’---would that matter if you knew their very presence could cure someone of cancer? Or if deep down this kid will never do math or socialize but would be the greatest pianist of all time? Well-meaning parents just want to see their kids have fun, go to prom, get married….for these holy beings, all these things are mindless distractions. They aren’t being kept from participating---they are CHOOSING not to participate.

     

    All these high discipline training therapies that militarize children into normality just rob them of their right to be fully integrated in Divine existence.  ‘Autistic’ and ADD are evil labels for spiritually and creatively gifted beings. Just because they don’t fit your idea of what is good or normal doesn’t mean a thing.  These kids are more evolved than us.  They should be honoured and their soul’s purpose embraced and celebrated.  When you try to program your child into something he-or she isn’t, you are neglecting them….as well intentioned as these efforts are, they are EGO DRIVEN. 

     

    As parents, aim for UNCONDITIONAL LOVE—LOVE THEM AS IS!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course you want to nurture your child to be the best they can be….but don’t confuse language skills, math skills or social skills with living or supporting a soul’s purpose. If your child cannot communicate through speech---then be honoured, for he/she communicates with thought—and as a parent, hopefully resonating at a super high frequency and spiritually attuned as well, can evolve to communicate telepathically as well.  These kids are your incentive to evolve into something more loving, holier.

     

    Special tips:

     

    Feed these kids gluten free vegan diets—essential!!!!

    Keep healing crystals around them

    Use nightlights

    Smudge often

    Lots of love & trust building exercises.

    Eye contact

    Music/art/colour therapies

     

    Don’t coax them into what you want them to be interested in---instead embrace their interests

    Let go of labels & expectations

    Discover their gifts, not deficiencies. If they come into this world unable or unwilling to do certain things or be a certain way, then they were not meant to do or be these things. Find out what they CAN do and embrace that. 

    Let go of your fears & ego

    Holistic naturopathic medicines should be used

    NO VACCINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    As a parent of a gifted, pray for unconditional love, acceptance, discernment & wisdom.

    Invest your time & energy into showing your child that they can trust. Autistic children don’t feel safe…they are escaping into their own inner world because they don’t trust the outer world.  The fact that we would label & pressure their development PROVES that they are right not to trust.  Mommy & daddy may love them—but its an ego love—not an unconditional love. If all your autistic kid wants to do is sit in a corner stacking blocks, sit in the corner with him and stack blocks with him, and be excited about how wonderful the stacking skills are. Once your kid sees & feels your total love & acceptance AS IS NOW they will learn to trust you, then the world.

     

    Study ‘alternative’ therapies.

     

    Gifted kids require a HUGE amount of effort…..you’ll get it back in karma.  No worries.  Be greatful for the privilege!

    Live A Thousand Years Soup

    This soup aids digestion, is grounding, warming, but balanced with the coolness of green & leafy vegetables & a hint of tomato, blessing both heart and throat Chakras as well.  Prepare with love and healing comfort energy and so be it. 

    To further aid digestion and to give it a smooth soul-food consistency, puree before serving and drizzle with chopped fresh basil.  Basil helps integration, discipline and dragon force (inner strength.) 

    If you eat dairy, grated parmigiana would be awesome!

     

    Can also be served with Ezekiel Bread (gluten free) buttered, rubbed with a fresh garlic clove and sprinkled with Italian Spice and cheese.

    Enjoy!

    You Are What You Eat & The Colour You Wear

    You Are What You Eat & The Colour You Wear

     

    I often write and suggest to my clients that the easiest way to change their resonance is to change the physical first.  Surround yourself and fill yourself with all things good and beautiful.  I have been emphasizing the importance of diet…especially gluten free-carcass free fare.  It will elevate your personal resonance by at least 35% almost immediately!!!  Although it requires discipline, within one month you feel such a profound difference, you won’t even be tempted to revert to your past toxic diet.  Do some research on the subject-you’ll be surprised.

    For some, diet is not an area they are ready to tackle.  We are addicted to the sugars and glue (gluten-from wheat, barley and rye) we pump ourselves full of.  I tell you, as you elevate in vibration, your consciousness will develop an aversion to certain toxic things.  What you love and need today, you may dismiss tomorrow. 

    For me, it started with alcohol.  I had a meditation that led to a transcendental experience where I felt the vibration of alcohol on an alchemic/atomic level even though I had no alcohol in my system.  I can only describe its vibration as LIQUID DEATH.  Not far from cigarettes.  Invented by the same demon. I haven’t had a drink since.  I used to love to drink, and it wasn’t a problem.  I never intended on quitting.  It just happened.  After that experience, just the hint of it makes me cringe.

    About a year ago I started a similar experience with meat.  In the beginning I was a RABID carnivore.  I hated vegetarians.  Then after a while I was OK eating meat if already cooked, but the smell of raw meat as it cooked began to smell like rotting carcass.  I have a vivid memory of the first time it happened.  I was in BC, and the person I was staying with ate gluten free and so I did to.  I was also writing my book and had just come back from my vision quest so I was flying high anyway.  I began to see meat for what it was, and just being around it began to freak me out.  I realized that meat is corpse. 

    When I returned to Ontario, staying with my Italian grandmother, I ate what she fed me—it was ALWAYS meat and pasta.  Once I ate it again, I realized I had missed it, it’s sooooooo good, but my vibrancy plummeted.  When I went back to meat/gluten free I felt way better instantly.  Meat/Gluten products are yummy but not as yummy as your frequency elevating, and so your life transcending many of the obstacles that you were previously attuning to.

    I think that’s where the old “you are what you eat” adage comes from.  Wisdom of the ages.

    Personally, I am no longer tempted.  If you want to make me salivate, don’t hand me a steak, hand me a mango or some rapini!

    If you are of the vibration that just cannot bear a diet change, I suggest three easy practices that will elevate your vibration beautifully.  Nature, Colour and Prana. 

    Attuning to beauty instantly elevates your vibration.  To test this theory, the next time you are feeling angry or blue surround yourself in beauty.  Art galleries, parks, anything that moves you visually will move energy through you that is of a higher realm.  You may still be pissed or sad, but the quality and experience of the anger or grief will change, will elevate to the vibration of the piece you are contemplating.  So if you were previously feeling your grief from a lower realm like gut rot etc, the high energy of the flower or painting would pull your negativity from your root/gut and up through your energy centres.  As it reaches the higher centres, you begin to intellectualize your dilemma or find the sentimental beauty in the experience.

    Natural beauty has the advantage of being able to exchange energy with a living thing.  The All created trees, flowers and animals.  The All speaks and connects to us through these creations.  Their presence offers wisdom, love and a link to The Source.  Hug a tree….see what happens.

     

    Each Colour in the spectrum has its own frequency.  Some of these colours resonate with the body’s energy centres.  If you contemplate a specific colour, your body will respond by attuning to it.  So, if one day you feel the need of assistance to communicate something for example, you would wear or meditate on the colour turquoise, as it’s the colour of your throat Chakra.  Or if you had abundance issues, you could surround yourself in green and gold. 

    I painted my studio violet, as I wanted this to be a place where my guests and me can easily connect with The Divine.  I chose a variation of the crown Chakra colour for the whole space except for one wall, which is turquoise to assist in their communicating with their own inner divinity. 

    I painted my bathroom pink, the colour of love and in magic, the colour that manifests goals in everybody’s highest interest.  I wanted the bathroom to be a happy place where daily rituals can be performed in love.  When my clients who have had an emotional experience walk in there, they feel a warm fuzzy that everything will be OK. 

    Colour is a powerful energy conduit.  Learn about it.

    Prana is breath, life force energy.  It is a gift from The Divine.  It is the Divine in us.  By connecting with our breath, we connect to The Source that breathes through us.  It is a way of slowing down and being attuned to the present moment.  It is the easiest way to clear your mind and meditate. 

    Most of us don’t breath well.  We are shallow breathers.  By doing breathing exercises, we allow oxygen to flood our system, releasing old toxins, and replacing it with fresh new life.  Pranayama, breath control exercises can heal disease and bring new vitality to your body, mind and emotions as well as life.

    Practices like Yoga & Tai Chi also get life force energy free flowing through you.  AWESOME WAYS TO ELEVATE VIBRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Kung FU….REAL KUNG FU can teach you how to use breath to move mountains.

    Aromatherapy, Crystals, Chanting, Sounds all have a huge effect on vibrancy.   Learn, Practice…..start evolving anyway you can, with a combination of several small little ways, and watch how the rest begins to follow!!!!

    The Adventures Of Poo

    Our bodies are our vessel from which we experience everything.  Even our third eye is nestled between the lobes of the brain~it is through our bodies that we connect to the self within the self, the divine, and the world.  Sometimes the self within gets pulled out, or pushes out, totally immersed in external realities as opposed to those occurring within.  Yet, if we attuned to the inner workings within our bodies and selves, we’d see a luminous communication filled with wisdom that pertains directly to whatever externals we are operating in.

     

    Through practices like Yoga, one learns to attune to every muscle and nerve feeling where the tension builds.  Once you are attuned to your self, you learn what parts of the body need healing.  If you study mind-body relations, you’ll be able to discern what your body is trying to tell you in regards to your day-to-day life.  Books like You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay are a valuable resource in helping you communicate with your self about your life.

     

    I used to be shy in discussing bodily functions.  I am one of those women that cringe when a maxi pad or yeast infection commercial comes on the T.V. if there is a man in the room.  Discussing things like bowel movements was ABSOLUTELY never going to happen.  I smoke pot, so I’m regular—all I need to know.  (& even that is too much information as I write this blushing.)

     

    Then I began to meet dozens of people that sang the praises of cholonic irrigation, claiming that not only did their health dramatically improve, even in seemingly unrelated areas (like the curing of eczema and muscle ache’s and pains,) but so did their emotional health.  Everyone I spoke to described a ‘letting go’ of old hurts and baggage. 

     

    The more I studied the procedure, the more I became convinced that cholonic irrigation of the world population would bring about world peace.  The benefits are endless.  Even the Essene Gospel describes the procedure as a way of casting out demons.  For those of you that read my article, A Fresh Start,  you know a little already about many benefits of the procedure. To know more look the article up in the archives under Health & Wellness.

     

    Not long ago a friend of mine we’ll call Poo Girl bit the bullet and decided to get it done for purely health reasons.  After her second session she began to detox and vomited capsules.  That night she ended up in bed with a migraine and vomiting.  She was dizzy and slurred when she spoke.  She couldn’t walk as her legs were shaking. She sounded down…really, really sad. Her body was obviously purging something. 

    The next morning she called feeling awesome and described it as, “Today I have inner peace.”

    “ Inner peace?” I said,  “I thought you went just to lose a couple of pounds in a way that benefits your health as well. Inner peace?”

    “Yeah…it’s the only accurate way to describe how I feel today—inner peace.”

    “Hmm….”

     So, the next week I (gypsy poo,crazy poo—depends who you ask) went to Dundas Ontario to see Colon Therapist Sarah Ramnanan for a Poo Party. 

     

    I write this the day after my second session in a series of 4-5.  The third session isn’t for 2 weeks—I have a lot of work to do from now until then.  I have learned that this isn’t just about your shit in a colour, consistency way—but in your shit as in baggage and ego.  There is nothing more humbling that the analyzing of your shit—the physical is but a metaphor for the demons that eat us alive on an emotional level.  Until we look at it, look at ourselves in the most humble ways, and let go of all our excrement, we cannot move on.  You cannot create peaceful loving conditions in your life if your body’s resonance is that of parasitical poison. You cannot release what you don’t understand. 

     

    I found that since I have begun this procedure I am more attuned to everything within as well as without.  I am finding myself staring in a blatantly honest mirror showing me all the things I don’t like about my personality, all the things I was too afraid to look at before.  All the things I was too afraid to release.  As soon as I started to pay attention to the physical crap I was carrying, I automatically became aware of the personality crap I carry as well.

    The other immediate change is a shift in my perception of others.  I am the queen of ‘irk’ and get easily riled up over things people say and do.  Now I care more to make sure I’m in no way like the things that bug me, than I care about what the other is saying or doing.     

     

    The procedure is uncomfortable.  There is no pain, no smell, its clean and you never feel ‘embarrassed’ or ‘exposed’ and I am horribly shy.  But it is uncomfortable-very-but it gets better each time you go.  It is a sensation you get used to easily.  There are dangers in the procedure as well.  If too much water pressure is applied, the valves that separate the upper and lower intestines may get damaged causing bacteria to enter the small intestine—dangerous if it happened.  I was told that a doctor described it as ‘puking up your feces.’  Sarah uses the gentlest pressure and I’m confident in her skill level.  But be thorough when choosing a colon therapist. 

     

    So, it was made clear to me that a lot of my issues surround the suicide of my friend 3 years ago.  I began my treatment on the weekend of the anniversary of his passing, and if you read The Wizard & The Gun you know it’s still a heavy.  This is one of those tragedies you just don’t let go so easily, nor do I want to, it fuels me.  I need to find the fuel and discard the poison in it.  In my second session, the only time I saw movement was when I spoke his name. 

     

    That told me and my therapist a lot.  Sarah is also an Iridologist and I find it adds depth and insight to her sessions. Looking in my eyes, the effects that trajedy had on me (and everyone) was apparent.

     

    The following are the conditions I have, that Sarah feels the irrigation will help heal.  I include the emotional causes from You Can Heal Your Life as an example of how one can make this procedure psychologically healing as well as physically beneficial.

     

    Back Problems      Represents the support of life

    Congestion           Fear of taking life in fully

    Fat                       Belly:  anger at being denied nourishment

                                Hips:  lumps of stubborn anger at the parents

                                Thighs: packed childhood anger.

    Fatigue                 Resistance, boredom.  Lack of love for what one does.

    Parasites               Giving power to others. Letting them take over

     

    That’s right…you read correctly—parasites.  When I saw them, I wanted to peel my own skin off and run out of body.  I became an instant vegetarian and my goal is to give up wheat and dairy as well upon proper education on diet.  The parasite moment was the most traumatic moment I have had in years.  GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Am I glad I did it?  ABSOLUTELY! Sarah tells me that if left untreated, parasites leads to cancer and sometimes-even insanity.  She also said that often parasites are the underlying cause of many other ailments like depression, fatigue and fibromayalgia.  When I looked it up in Louise Hay I had to laugh. 

     

    Here is the scoop—the symptoms of parasites is unusually major congestion and a soppy runny nose first thing in the morning.  This for me started in highschool.  It is so bad that I often vomit mucous if I don’t blow my nose as soon as I wake up.  It pours out of me—for about 2-3 hours every morning. Back then I went to my doctor who blamed it on dust mites and my smoking pot….asshole.  I’ve been seething with parasites since the early 90’s with no idea. 

     

    When I look back at those years it makes sense.  I totally felt overpowered and at the mercy of everyone and everything.  My family started the pattern way before my teens.  As a child I was at the mercy of a dysfunctional family, a dysfunctional gang riddled neighbourhood, a dysfunctional self image based on the imposition of my family, the rapist, the miscarriage, then another rape, a broken back, add a few failures and betrayals and Wham---you got a powerless woman!  I felt trapped and wanted out sooooo bad.  As soon as I got old enough to get a job and escape my life, I was at the mercy of a depression in the economy that wouldn’t allow me the healthy monetary tools of escape.  Again—power lost.  

     

    Later in life I escaped the family but shifted the power to the job, title, university, church, boyfriends, friends etc.  I substituted who I gave the power to….but never gave it to myself.  Even now, on many levels my physical comfort and security is dependant on people besides myself and it’s come to a head.  Even the grief…the loss of the wizard has power over me. 

     

    Cholonics makes you aware of these life cycles.  It’s a heavy thing to face—and how do you take power back once you lost it?  On some level maybe I never had it…where do I find it?  These are the questions cholonics asks of you.

     

    Today I found a mixed tape I used to listen to in high school.  I haven’t heard it in years, but something made me play it as I got ready for the day.  I hit play, and Sarah McLaughlin flowed from the speakers in a song called Elsewhere—my anthem in my early teens.  The line “A quiet child awaits the day she can break free.  The moment clings like desperation.”  I had an overwhelming flashback of myself as a teen, looking in the mirror sobbing as I sang the song to myself…dreaming of the day I could escape them all.  Then I flashed forward, and there I was, in the present, looking at myself in the mirror laughing and feeling pretty powerful, and I heard myself say ‘you did it…you actually did it, you did escape them…you are free and have been for a long time.  You never thought it could happen—and it did.  You are free.’ 

     

    Suddenly and completely I knew I was OK, I was letting go.  That’s why it took until now to learn of all this.    This treatment is a physical expression of what I have already released emotionally.  Power isn’t something I have to find, its something I already have—all I have to do is claim it—which I have done rather well lately. A little at a time I’m letting go and every little thing will be alright.  This treatment is merely making it official.

     

    This is the miracle of cholonics.

    When Love Hurts

    When Love Hurts

     

    Does unconditional love include taking abuse?  Not physical abuse-we know the answer to that.  I’m talking when you are being neglected, used as a scapegoat or out of convenience, or whatever the case, over and over. When is it O.K. for an enlightened person to put up a boundary ending all communication without being judged as callous or defeatist?

     

    As Tori Amos amply sings:

     

    “Just what God needs, one more victim

    Why do we crucify ourselves, everyday?

    I crucify myself and nothing I do is ever good enough for you.”

     

    We rationalize the continued victim act because there is hope that things change, you are praying on it, you are seeing the lesson in it, you are using them just as much as you are being used in some cases, so that makes it O.K.  Maybe there is an implied duty, like a parent or child, or fear of future regrets.

     

    Some have been continuing this co-dependant subliminal control cat-and- mouse game for years when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the sudden knowing occurs of “I’m not doing this anymore, I’m done .  I’m done-not for one more second.” Jobs, marriages, families etc are suddenly being abandoned at the drop of a hat, no time to prepare or even think it over.  A sudden compelling autopilot thing, where you are out the door before even knowing why.  Lately this has applied to dozens of people, be it releasing a parent, a lover or an employer, people are being put in a “shit or get off the pot” situation. 

     

    These decisions are as painful as they are liberating.  This is the last thing you want, but you realize, this is the way it has always been and will continue to be.  How much more shit do I need to take before I’m allowed to say ‘enough’ without the fear of future guilt?  What if the person you leave dies?  Will you regret it?  Then again, do you continue to be an emotional whipping post because someone might die?  What is the peaceful choice?

     

    Does the choice depend on the title?  Are you supposed to take more from a parent or child? Less for a sibling? Is there a time quota? 3 strikes and you’re out? What if it’s been a couple of decades of cyclical shit? Do you get a reprieve then? Do you hang on to a relationship and have fake neutral conversations to keep the peace, just so you can tell yourself you are at peace? No bonding, no sharing, because that would cause an argument, only weather….that’s the safe bet.  Why bother when the friendly banter is a lie?  Isn’t part of enlightenment living in truth?  How long do you have to drag out the misery of being an enabler of lies, or fake facades? 

     

    Is it enlightened to expose the situation, or is it rude?  

     

    It’s happening all around me, this sudden phenomena of people waking up and saying “I love you, but I love me more.  I’m out.” Its like the suicide thing, suddenly everybody seems to be struggling with a crossroads.  Amazing to watch.  We are all in limbo—at least we are doing it together.  It must be a planetary thing.  For the sake of the collective quality of life for everyone, it is necessary for people who have fallen off their highest path, to get re-directed.

     

    As I say in my book For The Love of Self,  “God will not let you be comfortable where you are not meant to be.”

     

    You are not losing your mind, you are being freed.  This ‘limbo’ is merely an empty canvas you get to paint any way you want.  Visualize the best possible outcome and focus all your energy in that direction.  Miracles will happen.  God is ripping off band-aids, exposing wounds and healing the masses.  If you are in limbo, consider yourself a chosen beloved called to be more fulfilled.

     

    It hurts, these ‘cleansings’ sting.  But they also heal.  Rest assured, all will be well--this is all a realignment of the vibration and evolution of social consciousness.  Once the dust settles, you will be one step closer to a personal utopia.  It’s all good.

    Fresh Start

    Fresh Start

     

    Since August, I have been a happy wanderer, so completely detached from the world, I often feel as though I’m not of it.  Sometimes while meditating I feel my atoms go to such distances that I feel as though I could just disperse completely into nothingness.  It’s like I’m barely hanging onto this fast spinning planet and I’m about to be whipped off it by the momentum. 

     

    It used to be my hatred of the world that first inspired me to attempt to transcend it when I was still a child.  As I began to transcend, my vibration caused a peace in my life that has made me fall in love with this world I was once so anxious to leave.  I am enamoured with my humanity—every function of my body as well as emotion fascinates me.  The connectedness of all things enraptures me.  Here is the dilemma:  I have worked so hard to detach from all things and ways of the world, only sad to leave it.  I remind myself of Saint Augustine when he said “Lord make me chaste, just not yet.”

     

    In the last little while I have been studying the Sufi’s and their accounts of Jesus.  They are far more thorough in description of Him, His ways and teachings then The Bible ever was.  A true lover of Jesus would do well to study Sufism to get to know what he was like.  I have discovered through Sufi writings as well as by reading The Essene Gospel that Jesus was obsessed with diets.  The Essene Gospels even discussed a procedure that sounds a lot like colonics as the easiest way to change your life. 

     

    I love my life, but I feel as though I’m ready for that ‘next step,’ whatever that means. The last time I felt this stirring was before I went on my vision quest in the BC Mountains.  As expected, I came out of there very different going in, and I am ready for another spiritual kick into a higher gear.  I have decided to take Jesus’ advice and starting on this months full moon, I will begin a 7-day juice fast and daily colonic session.  Again I make myself the guinea pig of the universe. 

     

    Before deciding this, I interviewed many that have had the procedure and everyone I spoke to referred to it as ‘life changing.’  They claim to change their diets and sometimes lifestyles permanently afterwards.  Many have also claimed to experience out of body sensations as well as emotional healing.  My body has taken quite a beating in the last 30 years, and I feel the effects of it.  I have let go of much, and I believe this experience is an official cleanse of the old, so that my body can experience the peace the rest of me has developed.

     

    I plan on chronicling my whole experience, both physical and emotional so that my readers can better decide if this is a procedure they may find beneficial for themselves. 

    This detox will clean my colon, digestive system, lymphatic system, skin, lungs, kidneys, gallbladder and liver.  Impressive eh?  What is important to note, is how each organ is tied to an emotional function and how that relates to your life. 

     

    Referencing Louise Hay’s You can Heal Your Life:

     

    Colon-has to do with holding on to the past.  A disease in your colon would emerge if there were things in the past that you never truly ‘got over.’  Part of this experience for me then, will be letting go of the past…. we should all be so lucky.

     

    Lungs-Depression, grief, fear of taking in life.

     

    Lymph nodes-reminder that the mind needs to be re-centred on the essentials of life: Love and Joy-awesome!

     

    Kidneys-deal with criticism, disappointments, feeling shame or reacting like a child.

     

    Gall Bladder-seat of anger and primitive emotions

     

    Skin-protects our individuality.  Problems arise out of anxiety, fear, and old buried guck, fear of being threatened.

     

    Sounds like the transformative possibilities are endless!

     

    Every time you have been victim to any of the emotions or thought patterns listed above, that organ has taken a hit of toxicity that is lodged into the flesh of it.  In one week I will get to purify each of those organs of 30 years of toxicity.  Because I am acutely aware of the emotional functions of each organ-as I experience the physical effects of withdrawal, I can mentally envision the emotional/mental damage detoxing or being eliminated from me as well.  The negative sensations that come with the fast I can embrace as a personal human study.

     

    I’m afraid of the humiliation, but for those of you who read my book, Mountain Man prepared me for it.  The idea of all those psylium, spinach, carrot juice drinks is like Fear Factor to me.  I’ve puked off that stuff before. The idea that for 7 days, I have to load up on it, yuck! Oh yeah, and the hunger…I HATE hunger!!!

    If I embrace it now, I can release it forever.  I know better now then to be negative for long, because everything is all -ways as it should be and love is all there is.  I also know that I create my own reality.  It’s all-good.  It’s all just an energy game, and with this experience, I plan on shifting mine into high gear.  Maybe then I’ll inspire others to do the same, and we’re then that much closer to a mass evolution to enlightenment.

    Liquid Death

    Liquid Death: The Silent Poison of Alcohol

     

    I used to love drinking, so much so, that in my early twenties I took a job as a wine merchant, just for the free booze.  Several years ago, while meditating, I received information about the corrosive effect of alcohol on the aura, body as well as on a person’s resonance.  So intense was this unsolicited experience, I haven’t been able to take a drink since.  Karmically speaking, alcohol is equivalent to liquid death.

     

    When alcohol enters your body, the aura automatically shrinks to half its size instantly. Your resonance, or frequency, slows dangerously still, leaving you vulnerable to outside influence.  The aura, besides other things, functions like a protective field.  The bigger the aura, the more powerful the energy.  When your aura shrinks, the energy fields of people or things around you have a chance to get that much closer to your now undefended being.

     

    There are many different substances, when ingested, that not only corrode your body and shrink your aura, but also welcome a darker spectrum of spirit around you. In the universe there is always a balance. There is white light/or high vibration, as well as a darker spectrum of entities one would do well to avoid.

     

    For example, Cocaine attracts spirits that resemble ogres.  They are gross, putrid, smelly, highly sexual beings that border on succubus energy.  Be aware.

    Lower spectrum beings wander around looking for vulnerable incarnates (people) to cling to. They can’t tolerate the vibrancy of a high vibration human, and couldn’t be bothered trying.  Instead, they seek the toxic and vulnerable, like one who has been drinking or doing lines.

     

    They sully your energy field, which adds to the damage already done by whatever toxin was just ingested.  Psychologically this leads to negativity.  All combined, it leads to physical illness and life drama. 

     

    Many prescription drugs have a negative impact on your aura and chakras.  For example, antidepressants block your crown chakra, which is the energy centre that assists in the connection to a higher realm.  If you ever feel as though you pray and nobody is listening, there is a good chance your crown chakra is stalled.

     

    The body truly is a temple, and one must be discerning of all that is permitted inside or around it. I’m not against having a good time, as my passion for marijuana should prove.  I’m against destroying your resonance to do it.

    Healing Our Minds By Honouring Our Bodies: Ayurvedic Medicine

        Healing Our Minds, By Honouring Our Bodies:

    Ayurvedic Medicine

     

    Psychically speaking, when I pick up any sort of prescription medication, especially anti-depressants, I ‘hear’ the phrase ‘sinister conspiracy to numb the masses away from freedom.’ 

    I get a sense that pharmaceutical companies provide the service of distracting us from the contempt we feel, at what we’ve allowed ourselves to get bought into.  It makes us tolerant of our boring lives and boring selves.  It makes you forget that you hate you’re life. 

     The cure is not zombie denial.  If you have a life that leaves you drained and disinterested, then do something, anything, to change your life.  Heal the cause, and the symptoms disappear.  Western medicine neglects the root cause of disease and obsesses over the symptoms.  This is precisely why Modern Medicine fails us.  Modern Medicine fails us in the nurture of our minds and bodies, and totally neglects our spirit.

     If you are not honouring you’re ‘reason for being’ so to speak, the daily emotional deflation eventually corrodes you’re very being.  This is when disease results. It’s an energy change that causes a physical change.  Traditions like Chinese Medicine work on this principal.  So does Ayurvedic Medicine, an 8000-year-old practice from India.

     Deepak Chopra writes on the subject—he’s the man to check out to learn more in terms we could comprehend.

     I also highly recommend the documentary:

     Ayurveda-The Art of Being, Pan Nalin

     This documentary is a wonderful perspective on how Modern Western Medicine let’s its ego get in the way of what could be life saving practices. 

    In the documentary, Dr. Brahmanand Swamigal from the Agathiar Clinic in Coimbatore India explained how the practice works.

     Quoting him in the documentary,

    “There are five elements present in our bodies, collected in three bio-energies called Tridosha.  We are all born with well-balanced and unique natural constitution of Tridosha.  As long as balance exists, disease will not occur.  Imbalance of these Doshas will cause disease.”

     The documentary shows these physicians checking the pulse on different parts of the hand and wrist.  For example, mental weakness, stress, fear and other mind related matters are detected in the Guru Pulse in one of the fingers.  Practices like inspecting nail beds and Iridology are also used in Ayurvedic Medicine. 

     Dr. Swamigal said, “I do not treat disease, I treat people.  I have an 80% success rate with cancer alone.” 

    In terms of the mind-body connection, a Doctor from The Holistic Centre in Athens Greece said in the documentary,

     “ The last ten years has been called the ‘ten years of brain research’ by American medicine, they needed 50 years before they decided that the main control system was the brain, and they started to research it.  In Ayurveda, a few thousand years ago, they started from the brain, and from neurological qualities”

    Another doctor interviewed said, “Western medicine believes that mental disorders should be treated by making the mind sleep.  Patients are given sedatives and sleep treatments.  In Ayurvada, the mind is awakened and thus treated.”

     It seems we do everything backwards or half-assed.  The perfect example is Western Ophthalmology compared to Ayurvedic ‘Above The Neck’ doctors, one of 8 branches of medicine.  The doctor interviewed said,

     “Blood sugar is a reason for blurred vision.  There are 21 types of sugar complaint, in which blood sugar is included.  It affects the eyes and causes dimness of vision.  Modern ophthalmology mainly works on surgical specialties.  In Ayurveda, its medical management sessions.  Take example, retina damage caused by diabetes.  Laser surgery closes a leak, but does not prevent other leaks from occurring.  Ayurveda uses medication to close a leak, plus treatment to strengthen eyes, plus treats diabetes and treats the Pitta Dosha imbalance that caused the diabetes in the first place!”

    We are slowly and systematically being numbed as a populous.  We are distracted in a million directions a second on window dressings, systematically distancing ourselves from the still wisdom-centres of our own being.  As long as we are focused on the externals, we are ignoring the fact that we are missing the boat on personal fulfillment and as a result, our body’s health and wellness begins to stale and stall.

     As long as we’re kept busy frantically swarming over things like cancer, we’ll ignore the bigger, more sinister issues the people in power are hoping you won’t notice.  As long as we are outraged by steroids in sports, then maybe we’ll forget that the USA is pushing this globalized union with us and Mexico to tap into our natural resources, something we’ve already started prostituting.

     We have become a mindless populace, numbed by prescription.  We get sedated and placed in front of the T.V. to rest from lifestyles that deplete us.  Too tired to discern, we accept the local news as gospel, and figure if they don’t bring it up, it must not be important.  We see the allure of voyeurism in reality television and not wonder if this is a subliminal desensitization to a Big Brother society.  Slowly our right and love of privacy, which was illusive at best, is being de-programmed from us completely. Not only are we not resisting this trend, we beg for it!

     If its not titillating, modern or shiny we dismiss it.  It is time for modern medicine and mentality to embrace the wisdom of the ages.  It obviously worked, or civilization wouldn’t be here. 

     In terms of individuals, we need to turn the TV off, turn the mind and life clutter away and go within.  We must become attuned with our bodies and our inner selves. You need to feel, so you know where the change is needed.  When you are at peace within, you will be at peace without.

    Embracing The Rags With The Riches

    Not long ago, I spoke to an 11-year-old girl who was distressed at the thought that she may get her period this year.  She was mortified at the thought it seemed.  I was puzzled.  When I was her age I couldn’t wait to get it! I couldn’t wait to be a ‘woman.’  I was surrounded and raised mostly by exceptionally powerful women, and I couldn’t wait to join the club and the drama.

    When I asked this little girl what the fear was, she said she was afraid of the stomachaches and that she wouldn’t be able to swim on the school team anymore. Well imagine! Imagine what it must be like, to be a little girl, listening to women bitch and moan about how shitty they feel all the time, and how ‘a woman’s work is never done’  and every other ‘it sucks to be a woman,’ poor me martyr-mantra we all whine on repeat.  Its no wonder we’re scaring little girls into resisting puberty or racing to it. Well, who’s fault is that?  We seem to be sending our little girls mixed messages that send them into a dichotomy they can’t balance. I’m not judging here.  Since my talk with her, I’ve been monitoring myself on these pre Madonna expressions, and I was embarrassed at myself. 

    On International Woman’s Day, I was blessed to meet an 84-year-old poet called Leroy The Happy Wanderer.  At one point in a very beautiful exchange, he told me that if he learned one thing in his 84 years, it was that women have a right to demand worship, as only a woman can grunt someone into existence.

     Let’s embrace our inner goddess ladies, and teach our little girls to do the same!  Teach them of the magic and mystery that comes with our sex.  Teach them of women like Judith in the bible, that was able to save an entire civilization just with her courage and cunning. 

     Teach them as a beautiful bonding ritual how to shave their legs and exfoliate their skin.  Make her first deodorant stick a right of passage, and make it organic and benign in substance.  Teach them of the temple of their being.

     The cramps are getting them ready to tough out labour when they get to be mommies one day! The PMS is your consciousness alerting you to the areas you are neglecting.  I’m not making this up either.  If you find that every month you get pissy at the same person/thing, then that is an area you force yourself into denial about.  The hormones scream the issue at you so you can deal with it.

     As an experiment, monitor your flow and general physical well-being in relation to the people around you, or day-to-day situations.  After a few months, you will notice patterns.  I had a boyfriend that made me nuts and when I was with him, I was bedridden 3 days a month.  As soon as we broke up, I wouldn’t even feel it coming and felt like a million bucks—all month. 

     Our bodies are messengers of our souls.  When you feel discomfort or negativity, it’s merely your body doing you the kindness of pointing out an area that needs attention in relation to your power or femininity.  When you start to see things from that perspective, these symptoms become gifts, and if you address the issues they bring to light, you will find the symptoms diminish.  Learn about the language of your female body, then teach you’re little girls to do the same. 

     Teach them to love and cherish their female power, so they may attract a lover one day that will treat them the same.

    Ode To Herb

    Ode To Herb
     
    In 1995 I suffered a compression fracture between my shoulder blades, and thankfully, I haven't really taken many pills for it in the last five years or so.  The other day, after some unwise heavy lifting, I strained a muscle in my upper back, and the blinding agony convinced me to give in and drive myself to the local emergency room at 5:30am.
     
    I was examined by a resident as well as the doctor in charge of ER that day.  After examining my X-Ray, they expressed surprise when they learned that I don't take anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants on a regular basis and were more than happy to offer me both. I declined.
     
    They asked how I managed to live without pills all these years and I proudly responded by telling them I medicate myself with marijuana exclusively.  I was ready for a debate, but to my happy surprise, they both reacted as if it made all the sense in the world.  One even said "oh, no wonder." Finally, people that get it!!!  He suggested I take Tylenol as well as the marijuana, as there was no contra-indication and may actually compliment each other on my symptoms.  It did help.
     
    To my relief, my grandmother, a 77 year old reefer madness propaganda victim, was in the room.  I figured once she heard two doctors bless my use of it, it would get her off my back.  No such luck.
     
    The whole issue began to peculate in my mind.  Why did my back spasm here in the first place after all these years?  It hit me almost immediately.  For the last month, I've been staying with my family 3-4 days a week.  They give me a lot of static over my pot smoking, so when I'm here, I smoke only 1/4 of what I'm used to, and reserve it for a bed-time sanity break.  I find I'm crankier, less productive and in a hell of a lot more pain.
     
    Who is my cutting down actually serving? The delusions of my family? What did that get me? 6 hours in ER!
     
    At one point while in ER, I was lying on the X-Ray table biting on my gown to avoid screaming while being contorted in excruciating positions in order to be tested.  I had a flashback of an incident a week prior when I had earned a rather decent sum of money after a successful day seeing clients back to back.  I was spent but felt fulfilled at a very successful day.  The day's organizer and dear friend said to me "You aren't going to spend that all on pot are you?"
     
    I didn't, but I should have.  If I had spent the money on marijuana, and insisted on getting the usual amount into me, unlike the pity rations I've been existing on, I DEFINITELY would not be here and both doctors all but confirmed it.
    For the sake of self preservation, the days of patronizing the deluded are over!
    I missed a client, and wasted all day due to this back thing. Not to mention, after all the frustration, I'm still in the same pain.
     
    I'm toking and not waiting for some white bred, mafia serving politician or judge tell me I can.
     
    How does marijuana effect the rest of my life? Well, let's see....
    In three and a half weeks I hand wrote a 500 page manuscript, that hasn't been tossed aside from anyone who has read it.  I'm 20 pages into my next book, and support myself by getting paid to give my thoughts and feelings about things.  I basically get paid to give my opinion.
     
    How does it effect me spiritually?  Sometimes I meditate for hours.  I pray deeper, longer and stronger.  How can something that brings me closer to God be bad?
     
    In my opinion, marijuana frees you and the government doesn't want that.  Bob Marley, who a UN rep called an international symbol of peace around the world, and has been called one of the most influential people of the 20th century said:
     
    "herb won't let you be slave to da man,
    it make you want to be da man to."
     
    Educate yourself! Knowledge is power. Elevate.  Evolve.  Educate yourself on the truth!
