Join Dr. Bengston for this cutting edge training in the practice of energy healing
The Energy Cure
Can energy healing really cure cancer? Is it possible for you to heal someone's terminal illness with your hands? After 35 years of extraordinary research, Dr. William Bengston has demonstrated time and again that hands-on healing works, even on some conditions that have no conventional treatment. In this two-day, highly experiential workshop, Dr. Bengston teaches in-depth training in the method that produces tangible results in the laboratory, The Bengston Energy Healing Method™.
Dr. Bengston theorizes that a unique process he calls "image cycling" may be key to accessing healing potential so that the body can restore itself to its natural state of wholeness. No special beliefs or previous training in energy modalities are required. "Image cycling" is a skill anyone can learn and it circumvents our conscious limitations to access a deeper source of profound healing intelligence. This is a weekend of practical, step-by-step instruction that also includes techniques for distance healing, instilling healing energy into objects and more.

DINING FOR WOMEN

www.diningforwomen.org
    Dining for women, (otherwise known as chowing for chicks), is a fun way to get involved with engaged giving. A group of 8 women make a commitment to get together for potluck and donate the money they would have spent on dining out. Each month there is a different target for the fundraising and all of the money from all of the chapters across the US is used to support that effort. Each meeting, the project is explained and there are photos and stories etc. shared of the women we are helping. They abide by high standards in terms of which projects to support. They are generating about $38,000 monthly to help women in developing nations.
    Some chapters meet monthly and some meet only once a quarter. The chapter leader presents information about the previous project's success and info about where that month’s money will go. The web site makes all the information readily available, including recipes for the cuisine served in the country we are assisting that month. There is no requirement about what you give and the amount is confidential.
    My group filled in two days! There is a lot of enthusiasm for making such a great impact in such a simple way, doing what women do naturally. What a wonderful way to boost meaningful relationships with a purpose! If you are interested in joining please send me an email titled Dining for women and include what city you live in so I can help people make connections, or send out invitations to 8 of your friends and start a chapter of your own. It is easy to register on line.
    Please check out the web site and let me know if you are interested in joining in on the fun!

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.
"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.  

August/September 2011

All this retreating is how I move forward:)


HAPPY HARVEST MOON!

Returning to the phases of the moon provides a beautiful orientation to our place in the natural world. The harvest moon is one that often catches our attention because of its color and  its impressive size on the horizon. It reminds me that perception is everything. Perception is unique to each of us in every circumstance. It is the window to our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious. We have the power to perceive from a more positive place that nurtures and shapes the life we want to create instead of perceiving by default. When habitual thoughts crowd our mind and constrict our life experience,  we can remember to change our minds. We can hear the familiar voice of our own limited thoughts and be with them. Recognizing it is enough. Then turn our attention to something else.
Often while I am sculpting I will get stuck, not knowing what to do next. Working three dimensionally, I have to keep looking at the stone from every direction to keep a sense of symmetry. I might go from the head to the feet just to change my perspective and do something different. When I return to the place that was challenging me, the sculpting I did in another area has often defined it more clearly. I can see how it is unfolding and move boldly into what's next. Turning our attention away from the habitual is a powerful tool. One of the things that has helped me navigate through life is an observation that we can enter the void at will and find ourselves in a place of pure potentiality. If we are caught in duality we are in an either/or situation. We never really have a choice until we have at least three options. It may sound overly simplistic, but just for today the best contribution we make is to be aware of our thoughts, our emotions and our body. Each is a portal to shift our coherence pattern and create more accurately and authentically.

Just a few of the thoughts that I am exploring through my work with dava money.

FOUNDATIONS OF AUTHENTICITY 
(GRATITUDE BLESSING donation)
(Classes that cultivate consciousness)
Wednesdays
September 23rd through October 26th from 6:30 pm to 8 pm
2407 W. Stuart Fort Collins
Tuesdays
September 22nd through October 25th in Longmont

I am so excited to share this work with you. I have done four play shops with dava, and it is "playing for real". Meaningful connection in community is calling to my soul. I love the way the series gently stimulates growth. You will take home new perspectives from which to perceive your life experience differently. What happens from there is magical as we support one another along the path.
She and I spoke about doing the series the first time together on a gratitude blessing basis, so NOW is the time to act. dava has 20 yrs of experience as a therapist, and we are blessed by the Spiritual guidance that led her to develop this series. Over 300 people have taken advantage of the opportunity on the East Coast. Remember that we are receiving not only the activities of the evening, but all of the years of training and experience that she brings to the table. I would love to move through the series with a group of 8 people. You can determine the price for yourself, but it does require a six week commitment as we build on concepts and create a supportive community. Please RSVP/ASAP.
If these dates don’t work and you are interested in participating please let me know what does work.

Learn the Language of the Soul and Join in the Evolution of Consciousness
“Every understood dream is like a slight electrical jolt into higher consciousness.” Marie-Louise von Franz
Another opportunity that I am blessed to be a part of. I am always moved by the experience and the wisdom that Jeremy brings to us. The Residence Inn is a good location for commuting, although staying the night deepens the experience and creates more connection. It is more affordable so if money has been a determining factor take a second look. It can cut through years of therapy to participate and can lead to life altering changes. Our dreams are the gift of the subconscious/superconscious aspects of ourselves. It seems a waste to let them pass unnoticed. Even if you never remember your dreams you will benefit from hijacking others. This is another opportunity to shift the collective conscious and usher in a new world.
Suzanne Rougé offers 

• Hucha, an Andean release ceremony to help clear toxic energy and raise your frequency, 

• Auriculars, reflexology for your neck, shoulders, gateways of the face and touch points in the ears

• Stone throw readings, a good tool for discerning where you are at currently and information to help you move forward on your life path.

MOON PHASES

Staying in harmony with the natural world offers solace during these changing times. Gazing at the moon is an easy way to realign our psyche to the soothing rhythm of the natural harmonic. We are made of water and like the tides, are deeply affected by the moon phases. We can use them to capitalize on the energy available for growth.

*The New Moon represents introspection and having the courage to enter the void, the unknown.
*The Waxing Moon is the time to gather information, contemplate a solution, discuss things with a friend etc....
*The Full Moon is the time to take action when it is tempered by the first two phases. It is important to keep impulsive action in check. The energy is conducive to implementing your solutions or birthing things.
*The Waning Moon is the time to release tension, to relax your mind and become more receptive to inspiration.
The Moon Meditation is a simple way to stay connected. Each night take 5 min. to rewind your day, think about your concerns or pose a question. Then sit in silent receptivity, with no thought for 1 min gazing at the moon. Each night repeat the five minute release and add another minute until at the end of the month you are sitting in meditation for 36 min. (You can add more time for the contemplation piece each night if you wish.)

MOON CIRCLE BUSINESS PLAN

I am busy gathering information to put into a business proposal. The investor is interested in a more thorough look at my vision on how the Moon Circle will operate. I would love some assistance from our community. If you have the skill set, and are willing to work a reflexology trade, please contact me ASAP. The last mention of it in my newsletter panned a barn raising straw bale construction builder, lawyer to look over contracts, project manager, tech person and marketing wizard. It feels wonderful to know I am not alone in wanting to bring this to fruition. If you have talent to lend, or have an interest in renting office space, please let me know so that I can include it in my proposal.

A TASTE OF AUTHENTICITY $15

Dava and I did our first session together and I am overjoyed at the potential for personal growth that this process offers. We are well-suited for collaboration. I always loved team teaching and it was obvious to me that we will work well together. I have great respect for her skill set, heart-centered approach and professional style. The key is the kinesthetic aspect of the 8 flow from Aikido that allows for integration. The intro night provides skills you will continue to use to develop your body wisdom awareness. The process heightens our instincts to navigate the shift with greater awareness of our orientation to core beliefs. I can hardly wait to feel the synergy of successive sessions. Please tell your friends about upcoming dates along the Front Range and plan to get a Taste of Authenticity at my house on the 10th. Please RSVP 8-12 max. (5 slots left)

DREAM RETREAT Friday, September 23 through Saturday, September 25 JEREMY TAYLOR AND BILLIE ORTIZ LOVELAND COLORADO I have been participating in projective style dream work for 6 years now and am always amazed at how each retreat is totally different and totally awesome! Whether you already use your dreams as a navigational tool, or rarely even remember snippets of them, this workshop has a place for you. I know the work we do on the collective level has a powerful impact. So if you have wondered, "what can I do to help the shift in consciousness evolve?" Come and experience for yourself how much your dreams matter. www.wakeuptoyourdreams.com

 FACT:

In the U.S., the odds of being killed by conventional medicine are almost 20 times (2,000%) greater than being killed in an automobile accident and almost 30 times (3,000%) greater than being killed by a gun.

Petitions

Petitions to close dispensaries in Fort Collins are going around. Get better educated and join the conversation. If we don't exercise our VOICE in democracy, we will loose our freedom. The propaganda is strongly biased and the powers that be are thwarting the evidence that is contrary to their agenda.

Did you know...?

Did you know that you have more receptor sites in your brain for cannabinoids then any other type. Hmmm? I think maybe it is because Mother Nature knew mmj benefits so many different diseases. US scientists proved that it killed cancer without damaging healthy cells in 1973 and the DEA immediately forbid all research and funding was choked off. Other countries like Israel and Spain have recently proven its efficacy as a cancer treatment. Why is the system bogging down the legalization of it? If we don't take a stand we will have no place to sit and cry when our last liberties are gone.
Over seventy years ago, few would have known what you were talking about if you were to say “marijuana”, but virtually everyone in this country, most specifically physicians, would have known full well the word “cannabis”. Cannabis sativa, as it was often referred prior to 1937, has been used as medicine for over 4000 years. It holds the honor of being the single most tested medicine in the history of medical science. What have we learned from centuries of medicinal use and volumes of formal research? Cannabis is effective in the treatment of chronic illness.
What is chronic illness? It doesn’t have to be life threatening or debilitating to be chronic, though extended doses of many pharmaceuticals almost certainly guarantees that a patient will eventually compromise his or her stomach, liver, and gastro-intestinal tract.
Chronic Illness is quite simply an illness that doesn’t go away, but lingers on despite medical treatment.
Illnesses that have been successfully treated with cannabis are: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS), many forms of cancer, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy (seizures), Hepatitis C, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, severe migraines, severe pain, Glaucoma, wasting syndrome, severe nausea, anorexia, Crohn’s Disease, and many, many more.
The use of Medical Cannabis and the protection of its patients, has been endorsed by many prestigious organizations, including: The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The American College of Physicians, the student branch of The American Medical Association, The American Nurse’s Association, and The American Academy of Family Physicians.
Despite Federal subsidized propaganda and outright lies, cannabis has been proven safer than NSAIDS like Aspirin and Tylenol, (which claim over 6000 lives every year). Despite being safer than pharmaceuticals (an estimated 218,000 deaths have been attributed to adverse drug events), harmful, dangerous prescription drugs continue to be approved by our Food and Drug Administration every week of every year.
So why do our law makers stonewall attempts to reschedule cannabis and block access for its legal production from our nation’s chronically ill? Isn’t it obvious?
In 2006, global spending on prescription drugs topped $643 billion. And if you somehow still think that our elect have anything other than the interests of big business at heart, the U.S. House of Representative’s Committee on Government Reform estimated that pharmaceutical industry profits would increase by over $8 billion dollars with the implementation of Bush’s Medicare Drug Plan.
With cannabis having the potential of capturing upwards of 60% of the current pharmaceutical market, there’s a reason why drug lobbyists are permanently entrenched in Washington and our state capitols.

FULL MOON DRUMMING CIRCLE

(everyone welcome) gratitude blessing
Featuring Oscar Santillan from Ecuador
Saturday, April 16
Potluck at 6 pm (presentation 7 pm)
Rose and David's Place
Near Carter Lake contact SACREDSTONE3@AOL.COM
Dress for the weather!

It is part of the teaching of the elders of the Andes that now is the right time for them to share some of their traditions so that people and communities might be able to better live in balance with themselves and the natural world. Their lineage centers on opening the heart as well as connecting to the natural elements and bringing the natural world actively into our lives.
Oscar and his brothers designed, created and manage a traditional Kichwan center of ancestral wisdom that is used by local, national and international groups. The Santillan family also runs a bicultural (Spanish-Kichwan) and trilingual school (including English) in Quito. Oscar and his musician brothers have produced three CDs.
Oscar's work and practices with sounds, healing, and living a life in balance are accessible for everyone. He brings wisdom and knowledge with a simple, straightforward and loving approach to people wherever he travels. He makes and uses a collection of traditional instruments, and will have traditional Ecuadorian crafts for sales to help support the Kichwan center in Otavalo.

DREAM RETREAT WITH JEREMY TAYLOR AND BILLIE ORTIZ

APRIL 29TH- MAY 1ST
www.wakeuptoyourdreams.com
http://www.jeremytaylor.com/
As always, I am eager for the Spring dream retreat to arrive. I have grown immensely from working with this group and have gone from a dream drought to transpersonal transformations through working my dreams. I have also gleaned great insight into the power of the waking dream. I resonate with this style because it comes from Jungian psychology and is a process of self-disclosure and collective healing. The retreat has been moved from Sunrise Ranch to Loveland to help make it more affordable. The experience is worth it's weight in gold. I will be offering Hucha ceremonies and reflexology.

RADIATION AND WHAT TO DO TO FLUSH YOUR BODY

http://doctorapsley.com/RadiationTherapy.aspx
It was an inconvenience for my family when I pitched our microwave, but I knew that there is no "safe" level of radioactivity. Creative uses for poison don't change the poison, just the way we view it and allow it in our lives. Most of what I "do" in life centers around cleaning up. It gives my life true meaning and purpose to serve you. We are clearly in global transition and my desire is to serve as a mid wife to a new world and a healthier way of being. Please consider joining me in using the following resources to stabilize and welcome the change that is upon us all.

REFLEXOLOGY

Is a 5,000 year old practice of detoxing and recalibrating the body. Every indigenous culture that I have studied has some form of reflexology embedded in their healing practices. When I was in the Q'ero almost all of the neighbors came to have a reflexology session because I was in the village. They met my gift with enthusiasm and belief. It was a very gratifying way to give back for their kindness in welcoming me. http://www.hummingbirdhorizons.com/Reflexology.htm

Happy Big Winds Moon (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is the month to ground yourself and allow the winds to lift out any negative debris. It is the time to cultivate psychic abilities and deep sensitivity. It is the month to savor and integrate the benefits of hibernation before spring energy kicks into gear. We learn to balance impulse with hesitation to find right action with perfect timing. Turquoise helps us to recognize our own value. It helps heal the physical by making us aware of the repetitive thoughts that create illness. The Plantain teaches us to capitalize on our healing ability. The cougar teaches us to establish safe territory.

Come enjoy a video and discussion about the impact this leadership is having in the world and the many ways that you can access their incredible understanding in these changing times. The grandmothers will win your heart and provide perspective that will help you stay in balance through the shift.
In 2004, thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it's too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.
Grandmother's Mission Statement:
"We, the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light the way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children."

Drum making with Rose Corey
Sunday, January 30th,  (alternative Sunday, February 7th.)
$105 (plus gratitude blessing for Rose if you choose.)
RSVP with payment Jan. 20th
Several people have expressed an interest in making a drum but only about 10 can fit comfortably in the house as I encourage you to sit on the floor and give yourself lots of room.
Rings come in three sizes, 13", 15" and 18". The 18" is harder to travel with and does warp more easily. The 15" is usually what is most used. However, the 13" is a nice drum with a good sound.

Healing Touch Level 1 class, February 12-13, 8:30 am - 6:00 pm
Instructor - Sue Walker, 970-690-8865, Sue@WellnessWithinUs.com
Location: Healing Gardens Living Arts Center, 412 W. Olive St, Fort Collins

Healing Touch is an energy therapy that focuses on helping to restore the natural flow and balance of the body's energy system. When we are stressed, ill, injured, have had surgery or are receiving medical treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, the flow of energy in and around the body becomes congested. Healing Touch techniques help to clear the congested energy. Practitioners consciously use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and self-healing. Now being taught worldwide, Healing Touch is used throughout the United States in hospitals, hospices and other healthcare facilities to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety and pain to facilitate the healing process for patients.

The Healing Touch Certification Program is oriented toward nurses and other health care professionals, but it is open to all individuals desiring an in-depth understanding of healing work using energy based concepts. Nurses, massage therapists, and other allied health care professionals receive 16 Continuing Education Contact Hours for this class.

This is the month to really focus on your personal evolution. It is a time to access inner awareness through ceremony. Ceremony is direct contact with the Divine. It can be an elaborate cultural expression, or as simple as lighting a candle. Ceremony connects us to serendipity and adds momentum to the magnetism at the core of our being to attract what we desire. This moon teaches us how to be fluid yet proper in conduct. It helps us to be prudent and wise in our decision making. (Wait til after the 29th for major decisions if you can.) Quartz teaches us that we, as well as the planet, are receivers and amplifiers of energy. Form follows thought, so be careful what you pray for. The birch tree, a relative of our Aspens, offers us great wisdom and a place to record our deepest thoughts. Snow goose helps us to recognize that true leadership inspires leadership and supports the vested interest and contribution of every member of the community. Be aware of blockages this month and of using your great power constructively. Relinquish the punishing perfectionist inside and simply do your best.

Mercury Retrograde-Full Moon-Full Lunar Eclipse-Winter Solstice
A Catalyst for change.
As we approach the count down to Winter Solstice 2012 the heavens are aligning themselves to assist us in our preparation. Optimize the opportunity by tuning in for meditation, quiet self-reflection, ceremony and celebrating! Mercury retrograde effects communication, commerce and thoughts. This one is moving through Capricorn (government) and Sagittarius (truth). It exposes another layer of transparency. (hmmmm Wiki leaks?) It provides an opportunity for us to step back and choose again. We can seize the chance to release conformity and go with the flow. A skill necessary as we move into the Aquarian Age. Venus returns full circle to the alignment before her last retrograde on Dec. 20th. This affords us the opportunity to break old patterns of relationships, both personal and global, as Venus transforms the shadow and ushers in the return of grace, beauty and love. The 8 year cycle of Venus is marked by one of the most ancient Solstice calendars at New Grange in Ireland. If you connect the dots of its 8 year evolution it makes a pentagram. Four years rising with the sun and four years with the setting sun. It is the wake up call that says rise and shine with your light radiating out to increase the frequency for the collective shift.

IONCLEANSE FOOTBATH
7 sessions for $140
What a great gift to yourself! Earth Renewal is the time in nature when the plants are releasing and gathering energy in their root systems. It is essential to clean out the old in order to welcome in the new. Get that gunk out of your system in a simple, soothing 30 min. foot bath. I always sit with my clients and help you interpret the colors, observe your progress and listen to what may be coming up for you. (Detoxing happens on all levels of being and emotional archeology is an aspect of cleansing.) You can not disrupt one system without effecting the whole. Ioncleanse creates a shift in the five causal bodies and is a great catalyst for change. Stress and toxins are what age us on a cellular level and leave us vulnerable for free radicals that deteriorate our health. If you are wanting to revitalize for the coming year start at the foundational level and watch your emerging vitality swell in preparation for Spring.
