Thoughts & Ponderings
Living And Publishing A Balanced Life
Requires Some Adjusting
Barbara Williams
T
he June/July issue of Balanced Life Magazine marked the
start of its sixth year of publication. Although publishing
the magazine has been extremely rewarding, financially
I’ve known it could be doing better. It was time for me to
take a long hard look at what was standing in the way of it, and me,
reaching our full potential.
out: www.balancedlifemagazine.com
The answer came in a phone session with Allan Hardman; when
I revisited an old belief, one I knew I was subconsciously stuck in.
Somewhere along the way I had come to believe that life has to be
a struggle. Allan invited me to go back in my feelings to where that
came from and all of a sudden I heard a voice in my head say; “You
are getting too full of yourself and someone needs to knock you back
down to size.” Wow. There it was. I heard that lie, believed it, and it
became a force that affected how I went through life. It was the fear
standing in the way of my living supported and with ease.
Also, you will notice some ads in this issue representing the Sierra/
Northern Nevada region and we are expanding our distribution
around Lake Tahoe, Truckee and Reno, this issue. All in preparation
of the first separate edition coming out with the October/November
issue. Advertisers will then have the opportunity to place ads in
one or both editions. Plus, having the magazine distributed in two
regions, two editions, will make it available to at least twice as many
readers, which translates into at least twice as many visitors to the
website, benefiting Advertisers in both editions.
Life does not have to be a struggle. I saw clearly that I had
been “going along and settling for” and in order for me to shift,
I needed to open to trusting and accepting the help I needed. Big
awareness.
Once the Sierra/Northern Nevada issue is out, we are looking into
starting a third edition for the California’s Central Valley. It will cover
from Stockton to Turlock. Still some details to iron out, although it
feels good to entertain the possibility of just saying yes to wherever
the magazine seems to want to take us.
Within a couple of days of that experience, I received a call from
Laura Peppard, up in Reno. Laura mentioned that it would be great
to have Balanced Life in her area. I replied, “If you’d be the person
in charge, I’d do a separate edition for your area.” Long story short,
starting with the October/November issue, there will be a separate
edition of Balanced Life Magazine – the High Sierra/Northern
Nevada Issue – and Laura Peppard is our Managing Editor.
Laura has the connections and know-how to get the job done.
She’s the past publisher of Cosmic Ground Newspaper, produces two
large Expos a year and is the owner of the Mystic Rose Gift Shop.
A few days after wrapping up things with Laura, I received a call
from a man saying, “I have been looking at your magazine and site
for a few days now and I think I can help you.” It was very intriguing
to think of someone calling out of the blue with an offer of help. I
walked into meet him and found the magazine’s new website up on
his computer screen and I was impressed. I’d found someone who
could take the site to the next level and do things with it, that up
until then, I hadn’t imagined. Hope you will take the time to check it

Balanced Life
Soon, Advertisers will be able to list and pay for Calendar Listings
on the site. And there are several more ideas on the back burner,
all focused on providing additional resources for the support of
Balanced Life Advertisers and the holistic community.
Someone told me that when a martial arts master is teaching a
student to break a board with their hand, he tells them to see their
hand going through the board. That if you think of the board, it could
stop your hand from going through it. I see that I have been putting
too much attention on making the magazine more, so I could afford
to bring in more help and the secret was to allow the magazine
to become more and accept the help that is needed to make that
happen. Takes away the struggle.

Being Happy With Your Body
Josephine Chia
T
hese days we are very focused on the external body.
Celebrity Culture idealise physical beauty and set false
standards of ageless faces and perfect bodies. The
frequency and ease, in which these images are broadcast,
through the media of film, TV, Internet, Gossip magazines, pummel
the have-nots with angst and envy. The sad thing is that of many of
those who are purveyed to us for their perfection is not living their
reality; many have been stitched and stretched. What is scary is
that we are sold into the belief that this is what we want or must
have.
In yoga, we learn that this absolute identification with the body
brings us pain and grief. Therefore when the body ages or weaken;
when wrinkles appear on our faces and our muscles go lax, we are
filled with worry and despair.
Being happy with your own body does not mean neglect or
overindulgence. Just as hatred for our body or its image is
destructive, neglect and over-indulgence are manifestations of an

imbalanced attitude. Whether you believe in a Personal God or a
Divine Principle or neither, your body is a vehicle, which should serve
you comfortably for your lifetime. Therefore it makes sense that you
have the prudence to care for it as you would your car; you provide
it with the right fuel, keep all its mechanisms running properly and
keep it clean. A car takes you on a spatial journey but your body can
take you forward on your spiritual journey.
The latter is an Eastern viewpoint, and in particular, is a yogic
viewpoint. You don’t need to have faith to accept this idea. You can
make the journey to The Divine on your own without accepting any
rules or dogma. Even the concept of The Divine is not prescriptive,
there are already enough religions, which are ready to steer you
towards a particular ideology. All you need to do is to become aware
of what is happening within yourself. Yoga puts forward the idea of
other bodies or sheaths, which constitute our real selves. (Even if
you don’t accept this, you can use this as a guiding principle until
you can affirm this truth for yourself. Yoga is neither a religion or
belief system.)
View the various bodies or sheaths (kosha in Sanskrit) as coverings
like lampshades, which obscure your Divine Light. As you know, the
denser the material of the lampshade is, the more it will prevent the
light from shining through. Yoga is thus the process of cleaning up
your shades so that your Soul Light will shine through. The densest
sheath is our physical body, followed by the Pranic or Energy (or
Etheric Body), Mental Body, Wisdom Body and Blissful Body.
The Pranic Body is your body’s electrical system. In a house,
electricity is required to enable the various household appliances
to work. In our physical body, we need prana to enable the organs
in our body to function at their optimum level. Prana flows through
Etheric wires called nadis. Like the thermostats, which regulate the
temperature of a room, chakras regulate the prana within our body.
Although there are many minor ones, there are seven major chakras
in our body, which influence major physical plexuses and endocrine
organs. Prana circulates with the help of the breath. That is why
yoga postures and breathing are helpful in energising our tissues
and organs bringing fresh blood and nutrients to the areas we are
working on. (Incidentally, a relevant yoga posture performed well
with proper breathing will bring fresh blood to our faces and tone our
facial muscles and thus can be a natural face-lift!) Working on the
Pranic Body is the first step towards understanding who we are and
where we come from and what The Divine is. That is why; the process
of discovering The Divine is also a process of healing.

The Divine exists in a frequency much subtler than our physical
world. To perceive The Divine, it is important to get into the same
frequency. If we wanted to tune in to a particular Radio station, it
will be useless if we tune in to the wrong wave-band. Understanding
your body and your five senses will start you on this journey of finetuning so that your ability to navigate in the subtler realm will be
honed. When you achieve this capacity, you will be able to enjoy your
physical body without fear of its ageing. This is when you become
truly happy. ❊

Clutter Busting!
Brooks Palmer
H
as your home has become full of clutter? Clutter is anything
that no longer supports you. Anything. Clothes, electronics,
books, people, and activities are clutter if they no longer suit
you. When there is clutter in your home, it creates chaos. It
affects your peace of mind, health and relationships.
For nine years, I’ve been going into people’s homes and helping
them let go of the clutter in their lives. I’d like to share some
insights from the world of clutter so you can move out of that world
and into one of clarity.
We have clutter in our lives because we are encouraged to acquire
and not encouraged to let go. We have learned to define ourselves
and others by the things we surround ourselves with and we end
up believing that things make us powerful. We buy into the concept
that we are unhappy and something outside of ourselves will make
us feel better.
Instead of feeling mightier, the presence of clutter weakens us

and we react with an impulse to get something so we’ll feel better.
The cycle continues and to break the spell we just have to stop.
To see that things are not sacred…we are and what we are is
enough.
The process of clutter busting is taking an honest look at your
things and asking, does this support me? How does this thing
make you feel? That feeling is a guidepost for what supports you.
When you ask the same question about something else and the
supportive feeling isn’t there, that thing is clutter.
Start your approach to clutter busting by taking a tour of your
home, allowing your senses to dominate. Let your thinking mind
take a back seat and just be aware of whatever you feel, see,
smell, hear or taste. When you sense a chaotic space, you may feel
agitated and yet your mind may say, “No, that’s not clutter”, or,
“But what if I need that?” This is a good time to ignore the back
seat chatter of your mind, as it is what got you into this situation.
Sit down in the congested area with three trash bags, one for
trash, the second for recycling and the third for charity. Start going
through every item and ask yourself “Do I like this, or can I let it
go?” If you hesitate, or feel indecisive, it’s clutter. If you’re not sure,
it’s clutter. You know what matters to you and you know without
having to think about it. Put the trash, recycling, and donations
in the proper bags. Notice the feeling of relief as you let go of
something that doesn’t support you. That’s the feeling of getting
your life back.
Clutter can have a hypnotic spell. You can get lost in an object or
become overwhelmed with the memories you associate with things.
You don’t want to let it go because you feel like you are letting go
of a part of yourself. Holding onto the past makes us less present.
We want to hang onto a memory of happiness, but this clinging
actually makes us less happy, gives us a feeling of longing for
something that has long past. Releasing actually makes us
happier in the present.
There’s an amazing momentum that comes from continuing the
clutter-busting process. The process itself leads you by the hand.
As more things go, you get back your clarity and peace of mind.
Your intuitive, natural sense of things takes over. You feel a sense
of joy that’s big and stable.
As you continue cleaning out your living space, the better you will
(916) 965-7751
feel. When you remove the distraction of the clutter, your natural joy
rises and not only will your joy increase, you leave the door open for
new opportunities to come into your life. ❊

The Healing Power of Aroma
Kami McBride
S
cent has a powerful influence on our lives. How many
times have you smelled something that immediately
transported you back to being at your grandmothers’
house, or got a whiff of something cooking
in the kitchen that reminded you of a time in your
childhood?
Smells can evoke feelings of happiness,
satisfaction, longing, pleasure, and even
emotions such as anger and depression. Smell
is the most direct of all of the senses. Our other
senses of touch, taste, vision and hearing have
to go through many decoding processes in the
body for us to perceive the experience. Smell
has a direct connection to the memory part of
our brain.
We can take advantage of the use of our response
to scent and create scent environments that have a
positive influence on many aspects of our lives. Aromatic
environments can enhance our daily activities. The relaxing smell
of lavender mixed with lemon balm helps to slow down the faster
pace of the day as you transition into evening. The stimulating
smells of eucalyptus and orange peel can help you to
stay alert while driving. The peaceful aroma of roses
can help create a state of calmness and serenity.
At my marriage ceremony, we misted the guests
with fragrant flower hydrosols as they entered
the wedding site. It created a sense of beauty,
celebration and marked the sacredness of the
space.
Herbal Hydrosols
A hydrosol is a process of extracting aromatic
oils from various plants. Making herbal hydrosols
at home in the kitchen is a great way to up the
aroma factor in your life. While you are making the
hydrosol your entire house will soak up the smell and
then you can put the hydrosol in a spray bottle and spray it
everywhere as often as you like.
Making an Herbal Hydrosol
• Put a 5-gallon enamel pot on the stove. Put a brick in the
bottom of the pot.
• Put water in the pot so that it comes to just below the brick,
do not completely submerge the brick in water.
• Add five handfuls of aromatic fresh or dried herbs to the
water. You can use one herb or several depending on what you
have available. Some of the herbs that can be used for making
hydrosols are; rosemary leaf, sage leaf, thyme leaf, eucalyptus
leaf, lavender stem, leaf and flower, lemon balm leaf, lemon
verbena leaf, mugwort leaf and flower, orange peels and rose
petals.
• Put a stainless steel metal bowl on top of the brick inside
the pot.
• Put the lid on the pot, except put the lid on upside down so
that the top of the lid is pointing down into the inside of the pot.
• Empty three ice trays full of ice into the inverted lid that is
on top of the pot. Turn the stove on low for 10-15 minutes or until
12
Balanced Life
(916) 965-7751
all the ice melts in the lid, then remove the lid with the melted
ice and dump out the melted ice water. The plant oils will have
precipitated into the metal bowl on top of the brick. Be careful to
not let the melted ice water drip into the bowl. Let the smell from
the plant oils that have been captured in the bowl waft through
your house. Take the liquid that has settled into the metal bowl
and put it into a sterilized mason jar or a spray bottle. You now
have an herbal hydrosol! Easy! It is stable for about a year. Spray
the herbal hydrosol around the house, in your car or use it as a
bathroom freshener.
Bathroom freshener
One half cup eucalyptus hydrosol, one half cup lavender
hydrosol, put in a spray bottle.
Driving hydrosol
One half cup orange peel hydrosol, one half cup rosemary leaf
hydrosol.
House cleaning hydrosol
One half cup lavender hydrosol, one half cup eucalyptus
hydrosol.
Sleepy time hydrosol
One half cup lavender hydrosol, one quarter cup lemon balm
hydrosol, one quarter cup lemon verbena hydrosol.
Home made herbal hydrosols are an easy and inexpensive
way to augment the use of aroma in your home. Let the healing
pleasure of scent become part of your everyday life.

Kabbalah Materials – Remedies to
Amend Your Life
Itzhak Mizrahi
T
he boyfriend who re-appeared into your life after six
months of separation, the shop owner who finally
managed to bring buyers into his store, the woman who
finally found a job after two years of unemployment…
could there be a mysterious intervening factor that influenced all
these people?
In my many years of practicing Kabbalah, I have seen the deep
distress in the eyes of people who come to seek my help on a daily
basis. Most of them arrive at my office as a last resort, to relieve their
tribulations and find a way to solve their problems after everything
else has failed. After a thorough diagnosis, done with the help of
the sacred “Zohar”, I can see very clearly what needs to be done to
improve their situation best.
The practice of substance mixtures is associated with the practical
aspects of the Kabbalah. Kabbalah materials are powerful blends of
rare and authentic substances originated in Morocco, which possess
mystical qualities and can influence people and situations. All the
ingredients are taken from nature and consist of different metals,
seeds, minerals and other organic matter.
The secret of their effectiveness is based on ancient knowledge of
blending the right quantities at a precise and strict schedule, and
instructing the proper usage of the blends.
From Ancient Periods to Modern Times:
Imagine… A place where our community gathers
to heal, to counsel, to teach
A place where… our community sponsors events
and holds groups
A place that offers …
workshops, seminars, meditation, massage
therapy, Yoga, Bowen and more.

The usage of mystical materials is known to originate from the ancient
Egyptian period. Ancient Egyptians used to confect different blends by
using substances from fauna and flora for different purposes, such as
medical needs, witchcraft. They would use materials that induce luck
and success, and more. Each material had its own virtues, and worked
in a unique way.
The secret to confecting mystical material was not distributed
publicly, but passed from generation to generation, usually between
family members or between Egyptian priests, whose expertise was a
primary witchcraft. The immense power and impact of such materials
could place a great power in the hands of whoever controlled them,
and therefore, that vital knowledge has been concealed and only the
few of could practice the vocation. Nobody knows for sure how the
practice of Kabbalah materials started. However, the majority of these
materials are found in early Kabbalah and religious scripts.
The widest ongoing use of Kabbalah materials since ancient periods
until this very day happens in North Africa, Morocco, Libya and Egypt,
but other countries like Yemen, Iran, and Syria. Other Arab cultures are
14

(916) 965-7751
also using mystical and witchcraft materials as well.
As mentioned earlier, the skill of mixing the Kabbalistic materials
at the precise dosages is kept in secret for the purpose of making
the materials work exactly, according to the intension of the person
confectioning them, which gives them their strong potency. As
everybody knows, putting such extreme power in the hand of the wrong
person – can be quite harmful.
The number of ingredients of every mixture and their precise dosage
is of utmost importance to their effectiveness on the person whom we
want to influence.
A Cure To Every Problem:
Kabbalah materials are used in circumstances where a change
needs to be done in someone’s life: Returning lost loves in specific
terms, inducing a man or a woman to fall in love, forgetting
heartbreaking romances, fostering sexual attraction, causing quarrels
and separations between people, spurring the sale of a home or
property, clearing bad energies, finding profitable income, removing
evil eye and bad spells, giving protection and ensuring success in life,
to mention but a few.
Wealth, Fortune, Livelihood and Abundance – a tested and proven
formula that opens the individual’s way to financial success and
helps to increase wealth.
Adduk – to subdue enemy and inflict quarrels and dispute between
people.
Mushta – To cause intense yearning to you by someone you
desire.
Assum Azif – To cause someone to fall in love with you.
Bab-Al-Aruss – to induce sexual attraction.
Hubt-Al-Barake – For returning lost loves and Binding Love
relationships.
Patience and faith are helpful too as it takes different “remedieis”
between 21 to 40 days to reach their maximum effect on a person.
Many people who have used Kabbalah materials at different situations
in their lives find it hard to believe how easy and fluent things can
become with a little help from an expert. ❊
The names of the following mixtures are taken from Moroccan.
It takes a bit of resourcefulness and orientation skills to find their
ingredients in the mazy markets, and arrive at the most remote
villages in the Atlas mountains of Morocco where they can be found.
Some of the most popular Kabbalah materials are:
Habbini – Causes its holder to be popular and admired by his
surroundings.
Itzhak Mizrahi is a renowned metaphysical and kabalistic counselor.

compulsion but what lies beneath it is more pervasive.
This is resistance. Resistance is pushing away, avoiding, looking
in the other direction even when something is trying to call your
attention (like overdue bills). Resistance is an experience of
frightened parts of your personality. In fact, it is inseparable from
them. The frightened parts of your personality those that are angry,
jealous, resentful, etc. --resist the world the way that it is and they
are in pain. When they are in pain, you are in pain. Temporary relief
comes from re-arranging the world the way that the frightened
parts of your personality desire, but the respite is always brief
because the world will not stay that way.
The phone will ring when you want solitude, a bill that you forgot
to budget will arrive, your car will need gas when you are late for
an appointment, and on and on (and on). These are all painful
experiences, for example, your solar plexus area hurts when you are
upset and your chest area hurts when a relationship is not going

the way that frightened parts of your personality want it to go. The
pain that you feel when the world is not the way that you would
like to be – if you take the time to put your attention in your throat,
chest, or solar plexus areas among others-- is real but experiences
of frightened parts of your personality are not always as real as
they appear.
Overwhelm, for example, is a common experience of resistance.
The perception of the frightened part of your personality that creates
it, from a more healthy perspective, is an illusion. You might have
more than you can do at the moment (or you might not but while
you are feeling overwhelmed it seems that you do), but your sense
of urgency and physical discomfort have a deeper cause than the
amount of work that you have to do. They are experiences of fearbased parts of your personality that see themselves as inadequate,
unlovable, unworthy, and flawed. They fear that if people could see
them as they are, people would not want to be with them. There
are many ways that people try to mask these uncomfortable, and
sometimes very painful, experiences. Becoming overwhelmed is
one of them.
Catching up with the things that you have to do, to stay with
this example, relieves the pain temporarily but it will return.
Something else will activate it, and then something else, until
you address the cause of it --a frightened part of your personality.
That is real and the rest are experiences of resistance. That is also
why addressing the things that appear to cause your resistance,
for example, completing everything on your task list, never keeps
the pain away for long. On the other hand, you can eliminate your
experiences of resistance (and anger, jealousy, resentment, and
more) permanently by feeling the painful sensations in your body
that frightened parts of your personality create and, while you are
feeling them, choose to act and speak in the most healthy way that
you can instead of procrastinating, becoming angry, seeing yourself
as a victim or as inadequate, etc.).
This is how to create authentic power. The mission of Seat of
the Soul Institute is to help you create authentic power. I invite
you to visit www.seatofthesoul.com, take a free online course,
print out the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines (and practice using
them), read my blog Soul Views: Social Commentary from the
(916) 965-7751
Perspective of the Soul, and more. Please also come to one of our
events, such as the Making Your Life Count, and Authentic Power in
Action, both in Grass Valley, CA this September. An unprecedented
transformation in consciousness is reshaping human experience.
Creating authentic power --the alignment of your personality with
your soul, with harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for
Life-- is at the heart of it. My spiritual partner, Linda Francis, and I
love sharing about it.
You can also email me at [email protected].
I look forward to hearing from you. ❊

“In the Beginning. . .”
In the beginning there was darkness
And the darkness was named “Love.”
The darkness was alone,
And longed to share Love with Other.
The darkness was potential and power,
And made a lover, a manifestation of Love.
Creation was born, made from the body of Love
As a companion and reflection of Love.
Creation was born of Love,
Animated by Love,
A mirror for Love,
And we know it as Life.
ANGELA BURR-MADSEN
proudly announces
TH E PUB L IC AT ION OF HE R N E W B OOK
Love becomes Life,
And celebrates itself as Creation.
Life celebrates Love,
And Love celebrates Life.
We are that Love, we are that Life.
Let us know ourselves as Love,
Let us know ourselves as Life,
Let us celebrate Love and Life
Let us celebrate both, together,
In the dance of Love,
The dance of Life,
Celebrating in Joy.

Spiritual Standing
Dr. Zhi Gang Sha
N
either you nor your soul can decide your spiritual
standing. The Akashic Records decide your
spiritual standing. The Akashic Records
are a special place in Heaven where all
of your lives are recorded, including all of your
activities, behaviors, and thoughts. They also decide
your spiritual standing in Heaven based on your life
records.
There are about 6.7 billion human beings on Mother
Earth. Our souls reside in Jiu Tian (pronounced joe
tyen). “Jiu” means nine. Again, “tian” means Heaven.
So Jiu Tian is the nine layers of Heaven. As I have shared
in the first three books of my Soul Power Series (Soul Wisdom,
Soul Communication, The Power of Soul), souls in Jiu Tian
must reincarnate. After your physical life ends, your soul will stay
in Heaven for a while. How long it stays depends on how much
good service you gave humanity, Mother Earth, and universes. The
20
Balanced Life
better you serve in this physical life, the longer you will stay in
Heaven, but you will return as a human being again.
Your soul has and will continue to reincarnate again
and again to purify. It will continue to gain more
wisdom. It will have the opportunity to offer more
service to humanity, Mother Earth, and universes.
Do a good job and your soul will be uplifted higher
and higher in Heaven. Moving to Tian Wai Tian (the
“Heaven beyond Heaven”), which is the divine realm,
is your soul’s direction, desire, and final destiny.
Millions of people are searching for soul wisdom, knowledge,
and practices to fulfill their spiritual journeys because millions
of souls have realized that their journey is to move toward the
divine realm. Why do souls have this realization? Because they
understand the benefits of reaching the divine realm:
(916) 965-7751
Souls who reach the divine realm (Tian Wai Tian) stop
reincarnation. Souls who reach the divine realm will not become
a human being anymore, but such souls become very powerful
high-level servants. It is not difficult to understand this. To
reach the divine realm a soul must have great purity and be an
unconditional universal servant.
Millions of people pray to the Divine for blessings. When you pray
to the Divine, the Divine will respond. The Divine will come to bless
you and then return to the Divine’s temple in Heaven. The Divine
blesses us in soul form. The Divine is an unconditional universal
servant. In a similar way, all souls in Tian Wai Tian bless us in
soul form. All souls in Tian Wai Tian are unconditional universal
servants. The Divine is the highest soul. Souls who reach the
divine realm are closer to the Divine.
To be closer to the Divine is to be more aligned with the Divine
in soul, heart, mind, and body. To be closer to the Divine is to be
given great abilities to serve through transmissions of Divine Soul
Power. Souls who reach Tian Wai Tian receive special teachings,
blessings, and further purification directly from the Divine.
Imagine the honor of receiving direct divine teaching, blessing,
and empowerment. No words can explain this greatest honor and
blessing further. What more can a soul wish for or receive?
This is why moving to the divine realm is the direction, desire,
and destiny of every soul. ❊

Astrology
Forecast for
August & September 2009
Tom Lescher
T
he Sun blazes down from the sign of the Lion through
much of August, and the heat is like that of the desert
sands of the Sahara. The rays of the sun bring life
and comfort to cold wetlands but can also scorch,
burn and kill anything overexposed to its powerful rays. This
picture of the sun can be a metaphor for our own personal
energy, or chi as it is termed in the east. Life is constantly
calling for us to put forth our energy, our sun, our effort, into
sustaining ourselves and our projects, and then more to grow and
expand our future potential. There is a delicate balance that needs
to be minded lest we either fall behind and our health, relationships
and careers falter, or we put out too much, burn ourselves out and our
health, relationships and careers falter!
We can easily say from observing the astrological cycles of August
and September that this is a time when we will need to use our strength
and effort to meet our needs and actively forge our future. While the
last weeks of July felt lighter and more free, we
see the energy becoming more thick, dense,
and heavy toward the end of August and
into September. Somewhat like the “plane”
of summer coming in for a landing, it’s
necessary for us to be awake at the controls,
get our landing gear down in time, and pay
close attention so as not to crash. There are
important decisions needing to be made with
long lasting effects that are not clear right now, so
navigating these waters can be quite stressful.
If we look at the larger pattern we see that this Saturn/Uranus
opposition began last November, repeated in February, is now at the
midpoint, and will repeat again next April and July. That is, Saturn
representing the need for security, control, ambition, and integrity in the
sign of Virgo (fall 2007- summer 2010), opposing Uranus, the unconscious
need for freedom, liberation from the past, and a better life within a
larger, better world in the sign of Pisces (2003-2011). The opposition is
an aspect that brings illumination through the heightened tension of the
polarity as it becomes more extreme. We can become polarized between
our conscious need to “keep it together,” and use force to get our way,
and the desire to throw up our hands, let it all go, take off and run, swim,
sail, make love, and break out of the box we’ve been living in for too long!
We may vacillate back and forth between these two extremes which really
need to be integrated if we are to succeed in the Art of Living.
This polarization will intensify through September, culminating (for
now) on the 17th (a day we may all remember). There are powerful
forces of resistance, that, refusing to let go, break down, change, or
transform will be overwhelmed broken, or otherwise destroyed by the
even more powerful unconscious, evolutionary forces of change. In
your personal life I encourage you to move forward, make the transition,
and do not let fear, lack of trust (in life), or inertia, keep you from stepping
outside the envelope that has been limiting your life expression for too
long. Resistance is futile, and can lead to a breakdown of your health, your
work, and particularly your nervous system during this month. The more
you are able to direct your energy toward removing blocks, cords, and
chains that you have been putting up with or trying to drag along, the
more you are listening to, and in tune with, the life forces desiring
expression through these times.
26
Balanced Life
(916) 965-7751
Let us not forget that this is really the midpoint of a 1½ year long period
of transition that will not be completed until the summer of 2010. Look at
what has not been working in your life since last fall and be honest with
yourself. It can not be stressed enough at this point that your unconscious
is coming forth with the REAL truth about who you are and what you need
and it is time to stop fooling yourself into thinking its different than it
really is. It’s time to GET REAL, GET ON IT, and co-operate with the forces
of change.
There is also little doubt, that on some level this will have to do with
cutting your losses and moving forward despite the fact that it may hurt,
or your expectations were not met, or your just not sure (in the sense of dry
concrete) that you’re doing the right thing. In fact, the external authorities,
traditions, and societal icons may be telling you not to! This is truly a time
of breaking dependence on external sources, be they friends, government,
religions, or family, for support and/or confirmation and reaching toward
bigger, broader (perhaps unseen, untapped, or unrecognized) circles of
support.
If we look at the upside of this time period, we are in the midst of a
great change that will go far as we want, or let, it go. Do you want to
wipe off half the chalkboard to draw your new masterpiece? Would you
like to knock down half of the old funky house and build a new one on the
existing bottom half? If we are courageous and honest with ourselves
and each other, we have an opportunity to knock out (and knock off)
tremendous limiting forces to clear the way for as yet undreamed of
possible, positive, future realities. Two simple examples of this are the
current US healthcare system and the US banking system (not to mention
the insurance industry). The more we can purge ourselves of the existing
top heavy, greed filled, institutions, the higher the bar will be raised for
the entire populace.
In your personal life this may look like a long overdue spring cleaning
where the more you can get out of the closet, the more you can use it
again! I encourage you to look at your emotional and spiritual needs and
not allow them to squandered, ignored or suppressed by the supposed
“realities” you’ve caved into before. If you listen inwardly during this time
you will know what you need to change, remove and expand in order to
really get on with your true purpose as opposed to wasting vital time and
energy trying to keep a sinking ship floating. It may well be time to let that
sucker go down, breath a sigh of relief, jump into your zodiac life boat, and
hit the gas toward some new, unchartered, yet promising land. ❊

Allan Hardman on C o n s c i o u s R e l at i o n s h i p
Living Softly in Hard Times
Allan Hardman
Balanced Life is delighted that Allan Hardman is writing a column
for each issue on Conscious Relationship—this is the ninth in his
series. We hope you will find it stimulating and useful. Please send
questions, comments, and feedback to Balanced Life Magazine and/
or Allan, at [email protected].
I
read somewhere that relationships are increasingly stressed
during these “hard times” we are passing through. I am not
surprised. With all the bad news in the media, and the fear it
creates, most individuals are stressed. And maybe you have
noticed, it is individuals who make up most relationships!
In this series of columns I mostly address the issues of romantic
relationships, however, it is valuable to remember that every form
of relationship is affected by the stresses of life—relationships in
love, business, friends, parent/child, child/parent, and strangers
on the street.
All relationships are based on agreements—and most of the time
those agreements are unspoken, unconscious, or un-discussed.
This “economy” thing everyone is worrying and talking about is a
major stressor. In partnerships that include sharing or managing
money, the expectations and assumptions that were brought
into the relationship, but never discussed, will begin to make
themselves very evident. This can be a blessing if partners are
willing to step into the truth and share their fears and unspoken
agreements.
If you are feeling fear about being victimized by money, support,
the future, or your life style by someone you are in relationship with,
it is a great time to examine and make conscious any unspoken
agreements you have each carried into the relationship.
Can you put your cards on the table? Can you speak the Emotional
Language I have written about here in the past? You might need
to say something like this to your partner: “I feel afraid. I looked at
the unconscious agreements I made about money when my parents
were fighting about it, and realized that I assumed you would
always take care of me. Now you are saying I need to get a job so
we can keep the time-share and the boat. I am afraid I might have
chosen the wrong man to take care of me, or that my assumptions
about our partnership were wrong.”
There are many variations on the theme.
If there is stress about money in any partnership in your life-- how
it is being used, who is in charge of it, what to do if there is not
enough, who is responsible for the situation in the past, present,
and future—this is a great time to practice Conscious Relationship
Agreement Clearing. Look within, and ask yourself, “What was I
expecting, what assumptions was I making, what did my partner
say or not say, and what am I afraid of if my expectations are not
met?” Then share!
I don’t know if these are really “hard times” or not. It is different
for every person, I suppose—it depends partly on your connection to
the media and the collective story telling, as well as how personally
you have felt the impact. As I was writing this, an apprentice called
about her husband being laid off from his job, and their tension
escalating into loud arguments and threats of divorce. She is

surprised, because they have had a generally peaceful marriage.
I reminded her about the growth opportunity for them if they can
step into the truth together. If not, they are in danger of becoming
yet another statistic.
It isn’t easy to tell the real truth in relationships. We have
not learned to speak the emotional language that is a simple
description of our emotional experience. Many of us have also been
domesticated not to speak our desires, needs, wants, or even our
demands about what we want from a partner, parent, child, or
friend.
So, how can we live softly in these “hard times?” I suggest
we be very alert to any judgments of ourselves or each other, for
starters. Judging does not serve us. We are all doing our best, and
when times get tough, the tough….. well, they need to get gentle.
We cannot control the world, our partners, the economy, or the
outcomes of our lives. To “live softly” is to recognize that we have
an opportunity in any situation, any interaction, any relationship, to
choose between love and fear. We can choose to listen to stories in
our minds or the world that cause us to be afraid, or we can choose
to be in love and acceptance of What IS, softly embracing reality.
In every way possible, choose love and acceptance—including
the acceptance of any fear that might arise in your mind. No matter
what the world around us is doing, we can always respond softly, in
gentleness, and in peace.
If we can live in conscious relationship with reality, we will
experience the most powerful and liberating relationship there
can be. ❊

P r o f i l e O n ...
A New Look at the Universe An Esoteric Look at the Prophecies of Jesus
Wynn Free
A
n unusual set of circumstances has brought me to a
rather uncommon understanding of how the Universe
evolves. It’s an understanding that was beyond my
own ability to figure out. It came to my awareness
through of my study and direct dialogues with what I refer to as
Inter-dimensional Consciousness. It’s taken me a few years to
integrate it all and come to the conclusion that maybe I have the
understanding of what has been given to me. I present it to you
as a hypothesis and not to be believed until you’ve done your own
due diligence.
I’ve had two principal sources that revealed this rather radical
perspective; one was the channeling of David Wilcock, which led
to my I authored a book about him, entitled The Reincarnation of
Edgar Cayce? The other resource of my information was channeled
in two personal relationships. Not to go into the details, I’d like
to share that these channeling experiences made it clear to me,
the significance of the Mayan Calendar end date of 2012 and the
prophecies of Jesus.
According to my sources and research, we are at the end of
a 75,000-year cycle. December 2012 is the exact month for
this cycle end. There is an energy, which is the precursor to the
physical realm, which emanates from the center of our galaxy
and this energy is at a peak at the cycle end. The peak of energy
is causing many transformations on every planet in our solar
system, which are measurable by science. On our own planet we
have all observed the unusual weather patterns and an increase
in natural disasters, which are all connected with this cycle end.
But there is another very important aspect of this shift, which is
not measurable by science and it will have a more severe impact
on our lives than the changes in the physical universe. It has to
do with a change in the energy field of our planet and how this
will affect the life lessons we learn from beings on earth.
Most are familiar with the term chakra, as they are referred
to as the centers in our bodies. Using that term, the shift
that is happening and will peak in December of 2012, is a
transformation of the earth is moving from third to fourth chakra.
Another way of expressing this is that for the past 75,000 years
the earth paradigm has been about power and individuality and
the Earth is now shifting into compassion and heart.
In this cosmology, reincarnation is real and we go through many
lifetimes. The way it has come to me, is that when we’re in the
physical realm we can do everything and know nothing. When
we’re in the other realms (in between physical embodiments) we
can know everything and do nothing and when we graduate the
lessons of third chakra, we move into fourth chakra. I’m hoping
that in sharing this information with you, you will understand
the far reaching implications of the decisions you make, moment
to moment in your current life and the importance of gaining
awareness in preparation for the upcoming shift.

Where All Paths Meet As One
"If you're inspired by Oprah and moved by Wayne Dyer,
you'll feel right at home at SCPL!"
The real significance of
the earth’s shift into fourth
chakra is that it forces a
division of souls for our
future lifetimes. Those who
will graduate with the “new”
earth must have their own
heart chakras open slightly
more than half or they will
no longer fit into the new
field being created, thereby
the need for a division of
souls. Those souls who don’t
graduate end up being moved
to another planet in another
star system, which is still in
a third chakra evolutionary
phase. Indications are that
this will not be a very happy
planet since those with open hearts won’t be there. You may see
the parallels in the prophecies of Jesus and this more esoteric
explanation of how it works. “One will be taken and one will be left
behind” “The meek shall inherit the earth”. And our cycle repeater
planet could be the hell Jesus spoke of.
If this is the explanation of cosmic evolutionary, we are right
now making the choice as to the direction of our future lives by
our ability to keep our hearts open. Which planet would you like
to end up on? ❊

The Heart of Service: Spiritual Aspects of Volunteering
Mary Lynn Perry
The following is an excerpt from a workshop I recently gave at the "Children
of the New Earth Conference" in Sacramento:
responsible such as helping social action programs, charitable giving,
acts of kindness and progressive approaches to social issues.
s a volunteer myself I think I can speak for all of us in this
room that the service we provide is important, but it’s only
part of the story. I’m sure we all feel that we get back as
much as we give. And that keeps us at it.
In Buddhism performing good deeds of “merit” is one of the most
important things you can do to ensure that you are progressing
spiritually and even to ensure a favorable re-birth. The idea is that
in the performance of good deeds or merit the act will induce a
momentary purification. The repetition of these acts of merit leads
to many moments of purification and helps the person to evolve
spiritually.
A
There are a lot of studies about the effects of volunteering and how
they lead to longer life, better health and happiness. Volunteering has
many benefits for the person doing the volunteering. And the scientists
keep trying to figure out what that something is that has such positive
effects. People who volunteer have lower blood pressure, lower rates
of all diseases and live longer and have better outcomes when they
do have illnesses. I think the answer to what that something is, can
be found by looking at the consistent importance of service – and by
extension volunteering - in the major faith traditions of the world.
Mother Teresa, who ministered to the sick and dying, to the poorest
street people in India and whose life to me embodied the concept of
service to others, had this to say: “ The fruit of silence is prayer, the
fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is
service, the fruit of service is peace.” The fruit of service is peace. What
a wonderful concept. Peace - that’s what I think fills our hearts when
we serve others, when we volunteer.
Within the Jewish religion there is the tradition of “mitzvah” which
is usually associated with the concept of doing an act of human
kindness. To be a mitzvah the act helps someone else, but not the
person doing it. There is an understanding that it is selfless. There
is even a special category of mitzvah, which is called “tikkun olam”
which means “world repair”. The emphasis is on acts that are socially

An interesting example of this was from a man who I recently
interviewed for a volunteer position. He had been a soldier stationed
on Guam. He had never been a person who volunteered although his
life had been devoted to the military and in that way he was in service
to his country. One day he was bored and decided to take a drive.
He passed a Buddhist monastery that was high up on a hill. He had
seen it before and always been curious about it when he had seen the
gleaming golden structures. So he decided to go and take a look.
The monks welcomed his visit and offered him a tour and tea. He
felt so good about the visit that he decided to do something for the
monks. He had noticed that the grounds around the temples had been
a bit shabby and he offered to come and clean them up a bit. The
monks agreed and he arrived with his tools and happily spent part
of a day cleaning up the monastery grounds. He came back to help
again and soon found himself involved in an orphanage and helping
to do activities there. He got other soldiers from his base to join him
and pretty soon there were a number of them helping to care for the
kids and provide recreation and games. He also took it upon himself to
organize a number of beach clean-ups that engaged many others from
the base. He said he had been involved in volunteering ever since. I
smiled and told him the monks had helped him gain a lot of merit!
Volunteering and service provide many benefits to those who receive
the service as well as those who give - especially when given from the
heart. ❊

Follow Your Dreams - and You Won’t Have to
Chase Down Inspiration!
Joyce Mason
O
ne of the most enticing reasons to follow your dreams—to
remember, write down, and analyze your night movies—is
their relationship to creativity.
In the dream state, we free associate mental and
emotional content to create stories, but the message of how they
may help our waking-life dilemmas or needs for insight will be lost if
we don’t bring them to the surface. It’s like having a buried treasure
just beneath our boat. We’ve got to be willing to put on our scuba
gear, plunge down, and pick up the gold doubloons.
What’s that? You say you don’t have time? Think of the time
you’ll save when you actually get flash answers to your day-to-day
problems. When you become skilled at remembering, writing down
your dreams takes all of 10-15 minutes. Most of the aha’s and
connecting the dream dots to daily life experiences will happen in
the penning or computing process. (I do my journal electronically
then print out to a binder, in case I need to get into the sort-it
details. It’s easier that way for me to page back and forth to see
developing themes. It’s like reading a book where the dreams
build on one another like chapters.) The exercise of bringing your
subconscious content to mind won’t just boost your insights and
creativity; it will help you master your life and life’s purpose as you
get to know yourself more deeply—your needs, hidden motivations,
and roadblocks.
Getting Started
Dreams must be courted, like a sweetheart. They need to know
you’re serious before they’ll give you the time of day. If you don’t
remember many dreams, here are some tips to help you remember:
• Get enough sleep. Longer is better for evoking dreams.
• Avoid stimulants, especially caffeine, beyond morning.
• Avoid alcohol at night.
• Anything deeply relaxing before bedtime enhances—lavender
baths, meditation, tense/release of muscles.
• Affirm your desire to remember and your willingness to be a
student of your dreams.
If you already remember or once you do: Keep a small notebook
and book light at your bedside. Even if you sleep solo, dreams are
42
Balanced Life
most accessible and best recorded in that hazy time between sleep
and waking. The book light gives you just enough light to get it down
if you wake up in the middle of the night. Otherwise, do it first thing
in the morning. Brief notes and memory joggers will do, although
as a writer, I like to pen mine as full stories on the computer. Flow
with your own personal style. With time, you may even be able to
remember a dream hours later, but at first, write it down first thing
upon waking.
Cracking Your Dream Code
Dream dictionaries are OK for starters, but the best interpretation
comes by exercising your mind and intuition through free association.
Learning your personal dream code can only come from the effort
of cracking it. It’s your inner language and yours alone. Here’s a
contrast: Places can be literal or a symbol for what the location
evokes in you, such as Paris and romance. I used to dream a lot about
San Diego—dreams that often involved a lost love I took decades to
get over. Eventually, I got that San Diego was a pun for “sandy ago,”
because we met on a beach as teenagers, or perhaps more aptly,
“sandy ache-o.” Just keep at it and look at recurring themes and
images. With practice, you’ll figure it out all on your own—perhaps
with the help of a trusted friend or a few of them willing to share their
theirs with you in a dream circle.
Applying Dreams to Waking
Here’s the best part of the application. It nearly always happens
all on its own with barely any intervention by your analytical mind.
You’ve opened the door between the right and left hemispheres of
your brain by regularly saying hello to your subconscious. Now when
you’re in the middle of a thorny dilemma in a board meeting, the
answer just “bubbles up.” In the classic book, “Higher Creativity,”
Willis Harmon and Howard Rheingold talk about how much these
“offline” practices like dreams; play and relaxation stoke the fires
of creativity for that very reason. Even if you didn’t analyze a single
dream, just opening that door to bring dreams to consciousness also
opens the creative and intuitive floodgates. ❊

5 Ways to Discover If Your Child Is Intuitive
Dr. Caron Goode
E
very child has the capacity for high
intuitive intelligence just as each could
be a musical maestro or a mathematical
genius. Intuition is a natural intelligence
that all children possess. Intuitive development
depends on the environment, parental support, and
education. Some children are highly skilled or gifted
in this talent in the same way that others have
a talent for math, music, languages, or physical
dexterity. By determining whether your child has
high intuitive intelligence, you’ll find the clues to
nurture her talent and help her use this to find her
success in life.
Intuitive intelligence is one system of processing information
from a gestalt that arrives spontaneously, beyond intellectually
known information or evident thought. Every human has an
intuitive processing system. Like any intelligence, different people
will have varying degrees of strength.
Children’s intuitive intelligence manifests in
different ways along a continuum of normal skills
to gifted talents:
1. Children who learn through feelings and
process information kinesthetically. (Intuitive
learning mode)
2. Children who are creative and artistic and
intuition drives their motivation. (Artistic drive for
exploring and creating)
3. Children whose intuitive intelligence is like a
radar reading and empathizing with other people’s
feelings. (Empathy and interpersonal skills)
4.Children who have intuitive episodes like dreams or a flash
of creative insight. (Deep insight, precognition)
5.Children who are psychic. (Awareness of non-physical worlds
through all senses or a specific sense.)
Intuition is the common denominator of these talents and,
all children have the same intuitive capacities. Like musical
prodigies, children display their talents differently.

Education, parenting, and psychology professionals recognize
that intuitive intelligence is the new kid on the block. Parents
who know how to spot intuitive intelligence may find an overlap
of skill clusters.
1.Creative and inspired artists - John always heard
music in his head, and at age five, his teacher referred him for
psychological testing because he hummed all the time. John was
also a daydreamer. His mother said no to psychological testing
and found a school that supported John’s musical creativity. By
age 11, he was playing the music he heard in his head when he
wasn’t in school. Music absorbed his attention and poured from
his soul. When others worried about his social skills and his
lack of other interests, he stuck to his creativity, and it paid off.
John’s dream of playing in a band came true in high school and
continued through his adult years.
2.Sensitive and empathic feelers - Eleven-year-old Laurie
was crying silently. She had just finished reading the book, The
(916) 965-7751
Prayer for Peace
Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. The story portrayed the
life of a boy named Jody Baxter, a solitary soul who developed a
friendship with a deer. Her dad sat on the corner of her bed, ready
to listen. Laurie discussed her sadness from the book, which
reminded her of a classmate who was sad because his brother,
a Marine, had died recently in the Middle East. “I feel it all here,
Dad.” Laurie pressed her heart like she was holding her emotions
inside.
3.Talents involving inner psychic awareness - Preschool
children have invisible friends. Psychic teens may experience dejavus, like they been somewhere before. Some children experience
strong dreams that feel real to them, and some children see and
speak with angels who are their friends or guides.
Our kids need our support and you, the parent, are the only one
who knows how to interpret your intuitive experiences or those of
your children. Knowing the challenges faced by the intuitive child
enables parents to discuss, plan and help with personality and
skill development. ©2009 by Dr. Caron Goode. ❊

Craft a Magical Life
Carol Holaday
A
ll of us yearn to have a great life. We aspire to feel
healthy, live in a nice place, eat well, do work that we
find fulfilling, enjoy financial security, and love and
be loved. Some people think that you have to be born
lucky in order to enjoy these things. And when these things don’t
happen they take it as proof that the best things in life are only
available to the favored few. The truth is we all have the power to
create a magical and wonderful life. And we do this through the
power of our directed thoughts.
Our mind is the most powerful tool we possess, and the power
of our focused intention creates an energetic pathway that allows
us to attract to ourselves the things we desire. The thoughts that
we hold in our conscious mind, and build pictures and feelings
around, are the ones that fuel our imagination and create our
reality.
Books such as The Secret, The Field, and Eckhart Tolle’s
A New Earth, reinforce the belief that our minds are powerful
manifesting tools that simply require focus and intention to bring

about desired results. With their phenomenal worldwide success,
millions of people are now becoming interested in exploring and
utilizing the untapped power of their own minds to create magic
in their lives.
Each year we learn more about the amazing creative abilities
of the human mind. As scientists research how our conscious
and subconscious minds, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and brain
wave states affect our bodies and the world around us, the
hidden mystery of magic has begun to unfold into the science of
co-creation or manifesting.
Your conscious mind is responsible for logic and reason and is
the part of your mind that handles voluntary things like walking,
talking, chewing your food, etc. Your subconscious mind takes
care of involuntary actions like breathing, heartbeat and heart
rate, to name a few. It is also the repository for your memories,
emotions (both good and bad), and the beliefs you’ve created for
yourself because of them. So you may work with your conscious
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.

mind, telling it what you want it to hear, only to find that things
don’t change right away because your unconscious mind isn’t
getting the message or may be in conflict with what you are
attempting to do.
However, when you are focused on something that you really
enjoy or doing something that narrows your attention, such as
gardening, painting, or creating something with your hands, you
move into the very powerful alpha brainwave state. When your
mind moves into the alpha state there is a closer communication
between the conscious and subconscious mind. This is when your
subconscious is most receptive to the messages you wish to send
it regarding what you want in your life, and it also the state where
you are likely to receive insights and creative inspirations from
your subconscious. It is the state where magic happens.
Choosing components and hand-crafting your own personal
magical items can help ease you into this powerful and
contemplative alpha state, allowing you to experience high
levels of creative energy which can also flow from your mind into
the tools, enhancing their power many times over. Moreover, in
addition to imbuing your magical items with your mind’s energy,
the focus required when crafting your own tools in this manner,
also sends out powerful vibrations to the universe letting it know
what you want to attract into your life.
Then, when you sit down with your magical tool and use your
imagination to experience all the sights, sounds, smells, and
physical sensations of having what you desire, you continue to
add to the strength of your focused intention. Thus you release
potent messages to the universe. The more you work with your
personalized crafts, adding to them, creating a special ritual with
them, or simply meditating with them, the more powerfully you
attract your desire to you.
Even of you do not believe yourself to be very creative or artistic,
making your own powerful magical tools is easier than you might
think. By utilizing your own creative process, you can take charge
of your own destiny achieve your heart’s desires. Love, luck, health
and happiness are available to everyone, including you. All you
have to do is believe in the power of your own mind and start
crafting the magical life and the future you long for. ❊

ometimes good health feels like an elusive achievement.
We eat right, exercise, try to maintain a balanced
life, but still a piece of the puzzle is missing. Stress,
toxins, and trauma have been cited as contributing
factors causing disease. We forget that optimum health
requires clear signals from the brain to the rest of the body.
How can the body correct disease if the pathways from the
brain to the body are blocked? [Alphabiotics] Unification
Process is a powerful way to realign the brain and the body.
In the book Natural Cures Kevin Trudeau explains that
[Alphabiotics] “dramatically reduces stress in the body,
makes one think clearer, and dramatically reduces muscle
tension and pain. It is excellent for increasing energy flow
throughout the body and keeping the body’s posture correct.”
Any trauma or impact to the spine pinches off the signal to
the brain and the cells cannot hear the commands. The spine
is a two-way signal. The brain sends a signal to reconstruct
damaged areas, but if the nerve passages are pinched, then
the message does not get through. An open pathway allows the
brain to send healthy, healing signals. In his book The Biology
of Belief , stem cell researcher, Dr. Bruce Lipton, further
explains how a lack of signals from the brain can cause cell
mutation. Cells map the DNA blueprint and reproduce. Those
cells in turn carry out the process of healing and rebuilding
the body. If the cells don’t hear the signal, then they mutate
on their own without direction.
Stress and toxins can also inhibit the brain-body connection.
The body and brain work together to rid the body of toxins.

When a person experiences stress, relieving the stress becomes
the focus of the brain. Other signals from the body (such as
“There’s a toxin overload.”) do not get through. During short
periods of stress cutting off signals does not necessarily
affect the overall health of the body, but in a society where
stress is more of a constant, built-up toxins do not get cleared.
This can activate potential health problems.
Dr. Bruce Lipton takes the relationship between stress and
toxins even further and adds the element of belief. In The
Biology of Belief he explains how our senses connect us to
the world. Based on signals from our senses our brain filters
the sensations through our belief systems and determines
whether our world is friendly or unfriendly. If the world is
friendly, then the brain notifies the cells that they can expand,
grow and rebuild. An unfriendly conclusion results in stress
and the brain stops the body from growing and expanding and
focuses on the primal responses: freeze, fight or flight.
Strengthening and aligning the connection between the
brain and the body leads a person on the right path toward
a healthy life. According to the [Alphabiotics] International
website:
...the [Alphabiotic] Unification Process is a gentle, hands
on way to help a person be congruent in all aspects of his or
her being. Unique to [Alphabiotics], the Unification Process
is a way to communicate with each person’s inner wisdom so
that it might then bring about right conditions. This process
elevates ritual out of routine mechanics to it’s highest and
most effective point. It brings together, in a practical way,
basic philosophical truths and scientific knowledge relative
to material and immaterial interrelationships. The Unification
Process is experiential – it can’t be fully explained – it must
be experienced to be fully understood. ❊
