Hi Everyone

As we know, last month we celebrated Mother's Day- but we cannot forget about our fathers! So with this month celebrating Father's Day, let's take the time to show our fathers our appreciation. Though sometimes they can be quite stern and strict, we must remember that it is only because they have our best interest at heart. They are our provider, protector (and handyman!), and work hard to make sure we have what we need. Not to mention the advice and guidance they give us. Spoil them a little... Or a lot.

On another note, Body & Mind is ranked no.17 in THE WORLD for alternative health websites! We also reached a ranking of 123 602 out of all websites worldwide (of which there are millions).

So from all of us here at Body & Mind, we thank you for your love and support.

Hugs and Blessings

Catching the Next Wave

As the consciousness of humanity evolves and unfolds, you will find yourself faced with opportunities to shape and alter the course of your life and impact in meaningful ways.

This requires the ability to be fluid and “in charge” of your inner resources, as quickly as those opportunities are made available, they can also disappear if not acted upon.

Catching the Next Wave is a series of encounters that focus on assisting you to find that inner strength and will, mastery, happiness and the confidence to Act.

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 Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Cards by Doreen Virtue

Father Healing - "Your personal power increases as you give any father-related issues to Heaven."

 

Interpretation

This card indicates that you might still have issues with your father that you have still not resolved. All that is needed is for you to forgive unconditionally releasing any anger, grief or fear that you might still be holding onto. Male energy is different to the female energy in that it consists of being expansive and giving whilst female energy is nurturing and receptive. Because of this you are blocking all the abundance that is ready to come into your life by not being able to receive the gifts that the Universe is offering you. Remember that you chose your father for a reason. That reason would have encompassed lessons, past life issues and karmic debt that would have been brought forward from previous lives together. These are lessons that you would have brought in for him just as you would have learnt lessons from him. Today you are being told to give thanks for your father and the important lessons that he has allowed you to learn. Focus on his spiritual aspect as you are then able to understand the reasons that certain issues and challenges have been dealt with in the way they have. In this way you will be able to open your heart, freeing it from anger and fear. Only then will you be able to accept the bounty that is rightfully yours and your Divine inheritance. Balance the karma by letting go of everything but the love and lessons that the relationship has brought in allowing you to grow and develop into the amazing Being that you truly are!

Angel light and blessings, Margi

HEALTH TIP
by Neil Jackson
Dangers of Caesarean Birth

Caesarean births are very popular with many 'advantages' for the Gynaecologist e.g. predictable birth, no late night or early morning deliveries, can schedule his day etc. For the hospital it means a nice orderly use of their birthing facilities, 20 minutes per birth etc. For the mom it is also predictable, no pain and a cut on her bikini line.

The only one that is not consulted and is the one most affected is the baby. There are no advantages for the normal healthy baby to be born in this unnatural manner.

When I used the term 'normal healthy baby', I mean a baby that has no obvious problems. There is a time when a Caesarean is essential, e.g. baby is too big (as was the case with my son, 4.2kg and almost 48 hours of labour), the baby's and or mother's life is in danger. There are plenty more examples.

The baby has to live with the results of this birth for the rest of its life.

The biggest disadvantage for the baby are auto-immune diseases and a very weak immune system. Auto-immune diseases are things like asthma, eczema and allergies to mention a few. Caesarean babies are far more prone to these problems than natural birth babies. Their immune system is also, generally, weak.

The reason for this is that our immune system consists of two parts and inflammatory part and a regulatory part.

The initial part is the inflammatory response, some allergen, such as pollen, stimulates the dendrites, a type of cell, which converts T-Cells into inflammatory T-Cells which then cause the inflammatory response, the eczema, the tight chest, runny nose etc. This is a good thing in the beginning but if it lasts too long it becomes the auto-immune disease.

The inflammatory response is regulated by the regulatory response. Certain T-Cells are converted to regulatory T-Cells and they stop the inflammatory response. This process is controlled by bacteria in the large intestine.

When the baby is in the womb it is in a sterile environment. When the baby passes down the birth channel it comes in contact with bacteria for the first time. These are essential and are 'good' bacteria essential for the babies growth, correct development and immune system development.

So for your babies health please do not have a Caesarean birth unless absolutely necessary.

Does Reiki Really Work?

Reiki is a Japanese technique that has now spread worldwide, which helps to reduce stress and promote healing. It is made up of 2 words: “Rei”-which means: Higher Power-and “Ki”-which means: “Life force energy”. Reiki treatment is administered through the hands of a Reiki practitioner. The aim of Reiki is to increase a patient’s life force energy. Life force energy, according to Reiki, is what flows through us and what makes us alive. When an individual has low life force energy, they are more likely to get sick, feel stress or suffer from depression.

Geopathic Stress (electromagnetic microwave and earth energies)

Geopathic stress (electromagnetic microwave and earth energies) and the sources and effects of this type of stress on the body our bodies have evolved over millions of years of evolution along with all the other animals, birds, insects, plants and other earth substances. We have evolved into the human beings that now inhabit the planet, with an animal body that is still tuned into the environment that it evolved from.

Take The Time To Be Quiet & Listen- What Will You Hear?

With the Sun currently in Gemini, the focus is on communication and this is usually a social, light, intellectual, airy, chatty, busy time of the year, but this one's a little different to most. The New Moon in Gemini on the 28th May set the scene for a much more gentle, intuitive, creative, sensitive and quieter June than usual. There's basically a lot more water around, with a square to Neptune, Mercury (the mind) moving into heart based Cancer and a beautiful grand water trine between Saturn, Jupiter and Chiron.

Is your sleep hygiene up to scratch?

While the term ‘Sleep Hygiene’ may be unfamiliar to a lot of people, it really is just a name coined to explain the best techniques you can use to ensure you get adequate and proper sleep. As a chronic insomniac, I have tried almost everything to end the cycle of going to bed wide awake, thoughts whirring around my head, and then waking up exhausted, irritable and anxious after considerably less than the optimal 8 hours of sleep.

Mammography vs Thermography

The news report I saw knocking thermograms was based on ONE case of a woman who received a false negative, indicating she didn't have cancer when in fact she did. The reporter then trotted out sound bites from a couple of radiologists (who make their living off of X-rays) to say that of course thermograms aren't good for much and women should stick to mammograms.

Natural remedies for eczema in children

Eczema is a term used for a group of conditions that cause inflammation or irritation of the skin. The most common form of Eczema is atopic, which refers to a group of diseases which often go hand in hand with asthma and hay fever. It is very common in children, as opposed to adults, but children often outgrow it by the age of 10.

Post natal depression-break the silence

When we become mothers, we are expected to be superwomen by the vast majority of society. The truth is, for many new mothers, life is far from perfect. The blissful bubble of your beautiful new baby and the oohing and aahing and showering of attention from friends and family gradually evaporates, and the reality of caring for a newborn sets in. For some mothers, caring for a newborn comes naturally and easily, and they glide through the first year with little or no war wounds.

Rites of Passage: An Ancient Ceremony Revived

Many ancient civilisations held ceremonies and rites of passage, such as the Aztecs, Mayans, Native American Indians, Celtic druids, and Aborigines, amongst others. Indeed, many current cultures and nations still practice rites of passage, such as the Pagans, the tribes of Palau and the Amazon, and even many of the tribes in South Africa. Imagine the stages of the rites of passage as a tree. Each one of us is in a particular stage of development, somewhere on this tree.

Understanding Menopause

The menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation and fertility, naturally occurring at about the age of 45-55 years of age. Menopause is the total cessation of menstruation for 12 months. Should menopause begin before the age of 40, it is referred to as premature menopause or premature ovarian failure, whether induced or due to natural physiological process. Menopause results due to changes in hormone levels: Initially FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), and then later LH (Luteinising Hormone) concentrations begin to rise, due to the supply of follicles (eggs) diminishing.

ASTROLOGY AND THE BIRTH CHART

Many people think that astrology is about horoscope columns in magazines and newspaper, but it is actually an ancient science and divinatory art, dating back to about 4000 years . In addition to personal astrology, which I’m going to discuss here, there are many other branches including political, economic, medical, vocational and many more.
Some of the greatest minds in the world have used it as a tool in their lives and work.

NAVIGATING THE JOURNEY TO YOURSELF

Imagine that you’re Christopher Columbus and you’re setting off on an epic sea voyage to unknown lands. Where would you start? First of all, you would need to know where you are and in what direction you’re headed. Then you’d make sure you had a sturdy ship, abundant supplies of food and drink, a good crew, excellent navigational equipment and accurate “up to date” maps …right? You would certainly not set off into the wild blue yonder without any of those things and if you did, you would end up probably going around in circles and getting lost at sea.

Only a Dad
Edgar A. Guest

Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.

Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.

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: 8 (Sacred Self)

If you think you are unworthy, victimized by life and hold a low self esteem, you can't gain the full potential of what life is offering in each moment. This is the karmic dance and interplay related to the lessons you have agreed to come and learn in this lifetime. Your life is a sacred journey through a continuous flow of experiences. The quality of the experience and the value of what you gain from it are directly related to the quality of your sacred (self) image.


These lessons aren't always pleasant or easy and they continue to repeat themselves until you wake up, embrace the experience and learn the lesson.
