Hi Everyone

As I am sure we can all feel, winter is officially upon us! It's time to throw away all last season's worries, and warm ourselves with the thought that everything will work out the way it's supposed to.

While we relax in front of a fireplace, perhaps with a cup of hot chocolate or tea, let us spare a thought for those who are not as fortunate to be warm and care-free.

Entering into July, we realise that half of the year is already gone, and we only have half a year left to make 2014 a successful year. Therefore, we wish you all a happy July, and hope that any new or current projects you are undertaking will be a roaring success. Keep happy and healthy!


Hugs and Blessings

What's On Country Wide

 
This month's product:

KeenMind

For improved concentration and memory retention
Listen to our interview with Juanita Ferreira, Homeopath for Flordis.

KeenMind (CDRI 08) has been shown in clinical trials to improve mental performance in adults and children. KeenMind improves memory and recall, clear thinking, concentration, focus and mental calmness. KeenMind may also assist learning in hyperactive children. KeenMind contains a specific extract of bacopa (Bacopa monnieri).

KeenMind capsules has been shown in clinical trials to:
Enhance retention of new information, improve learning rate and memory, have a pronounced radical scavenging (anti-oxidant) effect, enhance nerve impulse transmission, have the potential to assist learning in hyperactive children and have adaptogenic effects.

What is KeenMind used for?
KeenMind can help people of many ages improve their mental performance.
KeenMind is suitable for children over 7 years and preliminary testing has shown the potential to assist learning in hyperactive children. Together with its safety profile, this makes KeenMind an attractive choice as a first line option for hyperactive children.

WORLD FAMOUS BRAZILIAN HEALER ,JOHN OF GOD,WHO HAS HEALED MILLIONS : BY LORRAINE BURNE
South Africans are now hearing more about the full trance medium healer, John of God, after exposure by Oprah, and as many more travel to his Casa de Dom Inacio in Central Brazil for deep healing at all levels.
What happens there is beyond what we as humans understand. We can simply offer gratitude for the miracles that occur. Every day ,visitors from all over the world get up out of wheelchairs and walk, have tumours disappear, are given back their sight, hearing or the use of frozen limbs, are cured of Aids, cancers, neurological, psychological and other dread diseases. All who go receive a spiritual healing, and a forward shift into their lives. This healing is also up to each individual to be open and receptive.
In the 59 years John of God has dedicated his life to helping humanity, over 10 million people have been healed, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Medical science cannot explain how the healing happens. It addresses what we carry from our past, how we conduct ourselves, our thinking, and the self limiting beliefs we often hold, which result in physical dis-ease.
I have been there many times and received my own multiple healings and I have witnessed many others heal there. I am an approved Casa guide and take small groups of people there. I also use the Crystal Lights from the Casa for healing here in Dainfern and give regular talks with a dvd on this extraordinary man and his miracles.

My next journey is 8- 22 December 2014

ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS – “BARS”

There are 32 bars of energy that run through and around your head that connect to different aspects of your life.
 
We call all of the points that are touched when using this modality "The Bars." They store the electromagnetic component of all the thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs that you have ever had about anything.

For example; every thought you have ever had about money that you considered important, the energy of that thought is stored in the Bar called "money."
 
Each thought, idea, attitude, decision or belief that you have fixed in place solidifies the energy and limits your capacity to change anything in that area. You change the energy, you change how that part of your life shows up.

What is the most simple and easy way to change energy?

Get your Bars Run!

Bars are easy to Learn and easy to Receive – I am inviting you to defrag your brain of limitation – Are you willing to receive?

When you do, something different can show up in your life with ease. This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitation in all aspects of your life without any effort.

OSHO ZEN: Awareness Intensive
WHO IS IN?

The quest for Who is in? and Who am I? is as old as humanity. These questions are the undercurrent of every human being existence in life – no matter if man or woman young or old, stupid or clever, seeker or businessman, easterner or westerner.
No intellectual answer will help. You need to go into this question and experience it directly. Relaxation, trust, love, openness for oneself and others will grow simultaneously with understanding.


About the residential process
The 3 day residential process is relentless, intense and rewarding. It is designed to penetrate beyond your habitual masks and pretensions and to focus your total energy into the search for who you really are.
In the Awareness Intensive Retreat, the ancient Zen technique of facing the wall in silence is dropped and replaced with the modern technique of structured communication facing a partner. Opening yourself in the presence of another person supports the incentive for the inquiry into who you truly are.

Practical information
Venue: Blue Butterfly Tulbagh
Date: Thursday 24th July (evening 18:00) to Sunday 27th
Cost: R3400 (sliding scale on request or payment plan is possible)

Jean Franklin has worked extensively for many years in the cosmetic industry and eventually realised there was a need for chemical free products after hearing continuous complaints relating to skin allergies and skin sensitivity!

The human system is far more tolerant of plant extracts than synthetically produced chemicals:
- Plants contain minerals, vitamins and trace elements which are readily absorbed by the skin, therefore, having a far more beneficial effect in softening wrinkles, moisturising, reducing oiliness and skin disorders such as eczema, acne and blotchiness.

- Skin allergies and skin sensitivities is on the increase because of artificial fragrances, parabens (preservatives) and sunscreens with a too high sun protection factor.

Herbs have a balancing affect (homeostasis) which will eventually normalizes the functioning of the skin. HerbAfrique has a range of 100% natural creams which contain no mineral oil, aqueous, petrochemicals, parabens, artificial fragrance or colourants. Herbafrique has feather light moisturising/nourishing creams which are made from Olive oil and beeswax which are preserved and stabilized with Vitamin E, citrus extracts and Rosemary oil.

The Human Singularity – Esoteric Mastery Stage 1
with John Gamble

In the study of the sciences a singularity is the term used for something that cannot truly be defined, it is something that either misbehaves and breaks free of its definition or is completely infinite and immeasurable, like the human heart, spirit and soul.

Every single one of us is a singularity. We all operate at incredibly different frequencies of existence. Your are deeply unique and we are all infinite in the sense that our soul consciousness and spirit are immortal. The question is, “how do we align that to our physical existence, experiencing happiness and joy in the moment, as opposed to sometime in the future when we are no longer on the mortal plain?”

The Human Singularity is an extraordinary program that offers you specific keys to aligning your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences, allowing you to balance the four major aspects of you human incarnation, and offering you the opportunity to find complete happiness within. Join international teacher and healer John Gamble on this powerful introductory program.

Starts: Sunday 10th August (Six Sessions)
Area: Douglasdale - Johannesburg

Osho says, “Tantra is the highest form of love. Tantra is the science, the yoga of love.”

Tantra teaches that the body is an essential element of reaching higher states of consciousness. It offers a different way of being, a path to spiritual healing, a path to a deeper and more fulfilling love, and the path to a more serene and ecstatic way of life. It is where love and meditation meet to spill over into our entire existence.

Individual sessions for both men and woman, and couples are offered.

Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system. Its efficacy has resulted in its continual use for thousands of years in clinics and hospitals worldwide. It is one of the world’s two oldest continuous medical traditions. Chinese medicine currently treats over 1.7 billion people and is completely incorporated into the health care systems in China, Japan, and Taiwan. It is also recognized by the World Health Organization and is covered by all major medical aid companies in South Africa.

Chinese Medicine incorporates acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion and auricular acupuncture. Depending on the illness the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment.

The strength of Chinese Medicine lies in its ability to assess and diagnose each person as an individual. During a consultation, a pinpointed diagnosis and treatment is made according to the Chinese medicine differential diagnostic system. Hence, this individuated system recognises every patient as unique, according to their particular constitutional and genetic makeup, and life circumstances and is treated accordingly.

Chinese Medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating the root cause of disease. Although symptomatic treatment provides patients with immediate relief, it is recognized that complete health and disease resolution cannot be achieved effectively without addressing and eliminating the underlying issue.

How’s your colon? By Lee Buckle, Dip Pharm
AIM Herbal Fiberblend
Certainly not dinner-table talk, but one has to ask the questions- do you have a normal bowel movement at least once or twice a day? Are you eliminating the putrefied matter that may be poisoning you?

“The colon is a sewage system, but by neglect and abuse it becomes a cesspool. When it is clean and normal, we are happy and well; let it stagnate and it will distil the poisons of decay, fermentation and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the Brain and Nervous System, so that we become mentally depressed and irritable; the Heart, so that we are weak and listless; the Lungs, so that the breath is foul; the Digestive Organs, so that we are distressed and bloated; the Blood , so that the skin is sallow and unhealthy. In short every organ of the body is poisoned, and we age prematurely, look and feel old, the joints are stiff and painful, neuritis, dull eyes and a sluggish brain overtake us, the pleasures of living are gone.”

AIM Herbal Fiberblend provides the fibre and psylium which are both an integral part of any detoxification programme. It also contains a unique and powerful blend of herbs that aids this process.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend ‘sweeps’ the digestive tract clean, enabling the tract to absorb the maximum nutrients from the food you eat. It is a great colon cleanser, easy to take and fits into anyone’s lifestyle.

Also available in capsules!

ANGEL CARD READING - Margie McAlpine
 


   Interpretation by Margi of Messages from the Fairies Cards by Doreen Virtue

Winter - "The Answers to your prayers and affirmations are fully realised in the winter months."

Interpretation

For a while now you have been praying with positivity for certain changes to occur in your life. Winter is often a time of introspection and hibernation when you are not really expecting much to happen. However this is a very good time to start to put your new ideas and plans into action. In the Southern Hemisphere we are in the middle of our winter months having just had the Winter Solstice a few weeks ago. Today you are being told that your prayers will be answered shortly as long as it is for your highest good and the highest good of those around you. This may occur in a different form to what you are expecting. Open your awareness and accept what is sent to you in whatever form it may occur. Everything happens in Divine Timing and sometimes it is hard to accept that. The Angels and Beings of Light are absolutely aware of when the time is perfect to implement your request and you have to have faith and trust them which will allow it to happen exactly as it should. When you look back on it you will realise that it was absolutely perfect and for your highest good! After the winter you know that spring will follow when everything is green and fresh as it brings in new life and new beginnings. Look forward with faith and joy for everything will be perfect and exactly as it is meant to be!

Angel light and blessings, Margi

HEALTH TIP

All you need to know about coughs for this winter season!


Should one soothe coughs, stimulate coughs, or suppress coughs? It is always preferable to focus on the underlying cause of the cough as removing the cause will obviously alleviate the cough.

Acute inflammatory conditions of the respiratory system can be treated with demulcents to soothe the inflamed tissue. Coughing is a reflex response to anything blocking the airways. Usually this is mucous secreted by membranes lining the respiratory tract. Such mucous secretions help protect the respiratory tract from any kind of irritant, trapping and flushing out smoke particles, bacteria and viruses. Clearing the mucous build up in the lungs is important but it is also necessary to treat any underlying infection.

Remedies for different coughs
Wet cough: comfrey, mullein, lobelia
Dry cough: coltsfoot, plantain, lobelia, comfrey, marshmallow


Supplements: vitamin c, bee pollen, citrus bioflavanoids, colostrum, propolis

Effective birth control options: What if I don’t want to take a hormonal contraceptive?

So you’re looking for an effective birth control method that best suits your body and your lifestyle? You know about the pill, the Mirena and the injection, but all of these are hormonal contraceptives that will disrupt your endocrine system in order to work effectively. So what other options are out there? I find that alternative birth control methods are not a topic that I hear very often in women’s daily conversations, and women sometimes ask me: “What happens if I do not want to take a hormonal contraceptive?”

  Natural Walking: What Makes It Different?

Our human body is extraordinary with natural self-healing functions, however many of us are not allowing this process to happen effectively. Meridians are the natural energy pathways of the body, when stimulated; it can awaken the natural self-healing functions of the body. In reflexology, the reflexes of the body organs are on the very feet that we use in walking every day. We need to stimulate all of these body organs' meridians; this is precisely why we need to start walking properly.

ENREALMENT

Congratulations - if you're reading this, you've made it through April, which ended with a solar eclipse in Taurus on the 29th. Every time we have a new moon, the Sun (masculine) and the Moon (feminine) come together at the same degree of the zodiac, birthing a new cycle... At a Solar Eclipse, this union is so exact that the Moon's shadow blocks the light of the Sun from our perspective, making it even more potent.

Can you experience real hypnosis online?

Back in 2013 I did a past life regression online, with a friend in Alaska via Skype. Before this, I would never have suggested hypnotherapy or past life regression online, because I thought it would be difficult to get hypnotized and connect with the experience, but I knew this person from quite a spiritual circle of friends, and because of her practice in meditation, I agreed to do the regression. Her experience was one of the most genuine I have ever seen.

  Process Art 

Process Art is essentially spontaneous "in the moment" creative expression. It tells you exactly what you need to know about yourself right now.
When we enter into a Process Art or Free Creative Expression space, we are creating without planning and we are releasing the need for an acceptable or beautiful finished product. This is itself is a huge departure from our normal daily lives which focus largely on successful outcomes.

So how about some good healthy recipes for the spine?

Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients


½ cup coconut oil
½ cup quality dark cocoa powder
½ cup of all natural peanut butter
½ cup raw honey
½ tsp vanilla extract

Method
1.Prepare a muffin pan with 10 muffin liners. Put all ingredients in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times until everything is smooth and nicely combined. (It will be very liquid-y.) Don’t over-mix.

2.Pour the liquid fudge into the prepared muffin liners dividing evenly between the ten of them. There will be about a half inch of fudge in each muffin liner. Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the fudge has hardened. You can use the freezer and it only takes about 10 minutes. Remove the muffin liners from the pan and enjoy your delicious, healthy fudge! Store in the refrigerator.

Whey protein is not only an excellent source of protein for our muscles, but it is also a great source of nerve calming L-tryptophan. These whey protein balls are a staple in my home and make an excellent afternoon snack or grab and go breakfast. They are also well loved by my kids who equate them to a cookie-like treat.

Femular - Product discussion

Juanita discusses the product Femular, a clinically proven product that may assist in the relief of menopausal symptoms. She shares how it differs from other treatments, which may have health concerns due to their oestrogenic action. The fact that Femular does not exert a direct oestrogenic effect, renders it well tolerated, with no report of serious adverse effects and no association with liver problems.

Seasons Change
by Diane Walat

The seasons are now changing, the leaves all turned to brown.
Winters drawing closer as the leaves fall to the ground.
Soon we’ll see hills and valleys, blanketed in snow.
As the winter cold surrounds us and gently nips our toes.
Some will contemplate why seasons change the way they do.
Some will just accept it until the seasons through.
We all have our favourites, winter, summer, spring or fall.
We always choose the season, that fits us best of all.
Some love the springtime blossoms, for it brings life anew.
Some love the heat of summer and the new life that has grew.
Other prefer autumn when it’s not to hot or cold
The vibrant colors of the leaves, red yellow orange and gold.
While others get excited, as winter’s drawing near.
They anticipate the season where all are filled with cheer.
Life changes many times just like the seasons do
If we don’t learn to accept it, we’ll never make it through.


20 Powers of Creation
Number Drawn This Month Is...
by Sacred Journeys

In this feature, we will draw a number every month. The number that is drawn, represents one of the "20 POWERS OF CREATION"
What are the 20 powers of Creation?

The 20 Count finds its roots in the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. It is one of the oldest forms of numerology and mathematics. Within it, can be described all that exists, including all unseen powers and energies, as well as the relationships of all life forms and all aspects of being human. Through these powers can be discovered how the universe came to exist and the infinite ways it has of expressing itself throughout time, space and dimension. You could say it is the ancient precursor to quantum physics, science, human psychology and physiology.

NUMBER DRAWN THIS MONTH: 5 (Open Hearted Communication)

Whenever we attempt to communicate openly from our heart, we are faced with many challenges and obstacles that make us want to shut down. It takes great courage and a leap of faith to speak openly to another person what we are really feeling and thinking. Typically we are fraught with a variety of fears, doubts and foreboding concerns.

We question how the other person will be affected, will they be hurt, upset, angry, misinterpret or misunderstand what is being communicated. We have many attachments to our opinions and point of view, especially when they are the inner thoughts we share from the heart.

  Bodhi Chi 

If you’re a beginner to alternative wholeness, you might want to start by exploring the 'seven energy centres' and then the 'chakras' of the body (see below), as practiced in Chinese medicine. Human beings are driven by the same universal life force energy as are all other living things on Mother Earth. It is necessary to awaken to the fact that we are both an energy body and a physical body. In this way, we can learn to understand ourselves and our bodies much better, and this in turn may lead to a more holistic approach to all we do in our daily lives.

Essence of Light

My journey began when I came to a cross road in my life, and due to emotional stress I was ill with Hypothyroidism. Most of my life I had been in the fast lane, I was then able to study and chose the path of healing. I always felt there has to be another way in the journey. If we look outside our personal limits an answer will be found lying deep within the heart. I worked with astrology which is the foundation of everything, and then started with alternative therapies to help myself and, eventually, others.
  Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a safe and extremely effective technique that is applied using a gentle touch on the spinal reflex points, releasing us from past trauma, re-activating our inner capacity to heal and bringing us to a more balanced state.
