I received this article AWAKENING TO THE DREAM by Christine Page, M.D. via the Prophets Conference.  Reading it I recognize some of her recommendation as being in alignment with some personal choices I have made for myself.  In particular her statement about not meditating on outside experiences and grounding in ones own experience.   This came through for me as a strong urge that lead to an intense Feldenkrais Training which I now share with others as a practitioner.

Having also become personally motivated to act as we experience the Gulf Oil tragedy I read Dr. Pages viewpoint with interest.  Renee

During an interview for my book, 2012 and the Galactic Center, I was asked; ‘What if the whole energy around 2012 is just like the Y2K hype at the turn of the millennium? What if nothing happens?’ After a moment of thought I replied: ‘Well, if what’s going on in our world today is the best we can do as spiritual beings, then I sense we have a problem. So even though I’m not into doom and gloom, 2012 may bring the crisis required to wake us up to the need for real change.’

This question made me to reflect on what it is to be spiritual, a word tossed around in many circles today. It’s commonly applied to the attributes of an individual who has attended many new age seminars, read a vast number of inspirational books, spent days caring for others, possesses psychic gifts, knows the mysteries, meditates at least six hours a day or eats a strict vegan diet.

So I wonder: What does being spiritual mean to you?

For me, it is when I am fully expressing my soul’s blueprint in my daily life so that there is no separation between my spirit and matter, heaven and earth; they are one, the meaning of unity consciousness.

Today, many events which appear as crises, including the oil leak in the Gulf, the vulnerable financial markets and the rise of global activists are in fact helping to break down the illusion of separation built up over thousands of years so we may know ourselves in our wholeness. As the Inca prophecies say: 2012 is the first time that spiritual human beings will walk this Earth.

Despite all the changes occurring both within our personal lives and around the world, we are perfectly on track for the transformation we’ve been awaiting for thousands of years. All we need to do is take full advantage of the opportunities arising which may seem challenging to our minds but are fully understandable to our hearts.

1) The apocalypse: the revelation of those things previously only known by the few, to be known now by the many. This is occurring due to dissolution of the veils which existed between the dimensions of reality allowing us to know ourselves as multi-dimensional beings. These changes will be heightened by Neptune’s passage into its own sign Pisces next year when our thoughts will instantaneously be converted into reality.
However we don’t have to wait until 2011, for already we’re witnessing changes in our reality. Thus, although at present we know the difference between being awake and asleep, as the veils fall, there will be less and less differentiation between these two states with our night dreams continuing into our day and vice versa.

Other results of the falling veils will be that it will feel as if you’re suddenly tuned into 200 radio stations simultaneously. Physically this may lead to sleeplessness, a sudden desire to sleep in the day, unpredictable anxiety, confusion especially around dates and time, dizziness, weight changes and breathing difficulties.

My advice: stay grounded, spend extra time in the garden with your feet on the earth, stop meditation practices which take you out of your body, take time for self and laugh.

2) The clearing of dead energy or emotions from our psyche. As the veils disappear, all aspects of our psyche which have been kept hidden in the subconscious, often as secrets, will be brought to the surface so we can integrate them into being. Thus we may experience our worse nightmares and greatest joys all in one day.

In our holographic world this is being reflected in the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico which at the time of writing, has been capped. Oil comes from dead vegetation millions of years old. As it poured in to the ocean, polluting everything it touched, it symbolically represents the dead emotional energy which is presently pouring into our water/ blood stream and which will poison us, unless we clear it from our system.

My advice: if you’ve told your story, STOP telling it! But be careful not to drop the story before asking; what did I learn, how did I grow and why did I create this experience as an amazing spiritual being? Decide to nurture yourself with live energy whether this comes from the vibrant nature kingdom, friends or food.

3) As the energy of individual or self-consciousness grows, we will see increasing anger directed towards the leaders in society including those involved in politics, finance, and religion, with the perception that they have misused power. Yet, eventually, the leaders will tire of this and hand the power back to the people in the name of self-accountability and this will be the start of societies based on true co-operation and respect for all.

My advice: seize your own power back now, choosing not to be a victim but someone who makes choices from a state of personal accountability.

4) Beware the magicians with their phenomena and magic tricks who will step up as gurus, leaders or teachers and attempt to take your power from you. You’ll know them by what you have to ‘pay’ to be one of the elite few, how their power comes from judging others and how you never quite get to be an equal only a follower. This is the end of hierarchal systems and power struggles based on enmity between two opposing factions.

My advice: know that everybody presently has access to the ocean of possibilities.

There are a few special places around the world which hold the energy of unity consciousness - where heaven and earth meet – the energy enhanced by the building of temples and stone circles by our ancestors. Here we can be experience this oneness for ourselves, through a natural acceleration process where any illusion of separation is dissolved and we are embraced by our true spiritual essence. Such places include Malta where we are preparing to lead a group, for we see it as essential that as many people as possible wake up NOW to their true spiritual destiny.

Now, focusing on education, she is a gifted intuitive, mystic and alchemist, who shares her insights and knowledge through teaching, soul readings and writing. As an international speaker, she sees herself as a messenger and bridge builder between different worlds whether this includes modalities of health care or levels of consciousness. Author of 6 books, the best known being Frontiers of Health, her latest, 2012 and the Galactic Center; Return of the Great Mother was published in October 08.

Drawing on alchemy and mythology, Christine Page will guide us on Malta to connect with and use sacred spiritual tools to merge with the Great Mother, a spiritual transformation that allows us to expand our awareness and experience ourselves as eternal beings.

Known as a mystical physician, Dr. Christine Page was immersed in spiritual mysteries from an early age, raised amongst healers and psychics. In the search for true healing, she has over 30 years of experience in the caring professions as doctor and homeopath receiving her medical degree from London University.

The quest for a youth pill

Why scientists think they have one, and why you can’t get it

Award-winning journalist David Stipp has been writing about science and medicine since 1982, first at the Wall Street Journal and then Fortune magazine. In his new book, The Youth Pill: Scientists at the Brink of an Anti-Aging Revolution, he explains that slowing down aging is no longer a fantasy. After centuries of such anti-aging “remedies” as injecting minced dog testicles, scientists have recently discovered compounds that could dramatically extend human longevity and health

Q: What’s the brass ring in anti-aging research?
A:
The near-term, totally feasible prospect scientists are working toward is the development of a safe drug that delays by seven or eight years the onset of diseases associated with aging. The goal is to slow the rate of aging and postpone all the bad stuff: Alzheimer’s, cancer and heart disease are the three main killers, and then there are lesser diseases, from osteoporosis to cataracts. A true anti-aging drug would also extend maximum lifespan.

Q: As you explain in your book, scientists already know how to do all that in animals: cut their caloric intake by a third and they live 30 to 40 per cent longer than animals on a regular diet.
A:
Calorie restriction (CR) revs up antitoxin defences, and that’s probably at the heart of why it has been shown, very robustly, to work across a wide range of species. The theory behind it is that if there’s less food, animals eat whatever they can get, including poisonous stuff. The only way you’re going to survive that is if you’ve got all these forces in play that fend off free radicals and everything else that basically makes you get old and sick. You can’t look at CR without thinking, “Evolution has built this mechanism into the genome.” From a natural selection point of view, it makes a great deal of sense to install a special device in the genome of many animals that would let them go into slow aging mode when food is scarce: they can hunker down and wait until the famine’s over to reproduce, therefore improving the chances their genes will be carried on.

Q: Doesn’t CR make them less healthy?
A:
The opposite seems to be true. One study of rhesus monkeys showed those on CR had greater lean muscle mass, significantly less age-related brain atrophy, half as much cancer and half as much cardiovascular disease as those on normal diets. And when pathologists examined the tissues of calorie-restricted rodents after death, in a fourth to a third of the animals, there were no visible signs of severe age-related diseases. It’s as if they lived to ripe old ages then suddenly dropped dead without any terminal decline at all.

Q: Does CR work in humans?
A:
It hasn’t been proven, so it’s not a sure bet, but it seems to me that it should work given everything we know about what it does in other species. However, it’s very tricky to get all the nutrients you need, and there are risks. CR affects fertility, for one. The first downside is hunger. I tried CR and lasted a little over two days. I couldn’t get any work done. I was thinking about food all the time.

Q: I guess that’s why scientists are focusing on finding compounds that mimic the anti-aging effects of CR, minus the unpleasantness. How promising is resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and peanuts, as a CR mimetic?
A:
The most exciting data come from two studies of rodents on high-fat diets. The decline normally associated with that kind of diet didn’t happen to the mice on resveratrol: their livers didn’t get filled up with fat, their hearts seemed to be protected better. Several other studies suggest that high doses of resveratrol can cause formation of new mitochondria, which are these little power plants in all of our cells. There’s a lot of previous research suggesting that your mitochondria getting flaky is at the very root of what makes you get old-maybe not the whole story, but a very major part of it. So if resveratrol causes formation of mitochondria, it’s probably what accounts for those videos we’ve seen of mice on high doses being able to run on treadmills a whole lot faster and farther than mice that haven’t taken it. The implication is that even if resveratrol doesn’t extend lifespan, it might extend health span.

4. Assessing Movement with Practitioner

Seeing clients for various functional movement conditions privately and in group lessons motivates me to create support to begin to loose weight gently.  I have noticed limitations in clients physical function through concepts they have developed for themselves based upon their weight along with the weight itself.

Some of the common problems I am observing are:

Shortage of breath -  This would limit physical activity, add stress and anxiety, reduce sleeping abilities.

Posture – I have observed the resulting positions clients have created in their posture due to wanting to look less heavy in certain areas of their body.  This result in chronic pain!

Bearing Weight – As my clients begin to loose weight their movement frees up.  In doing so, the position of  ones structural support can shift into a more efficient alignment.  In order to realign bone support with weight loss it is important to have professional support of someone who can assess movement patterns and support change.  In doing so, the body will move differently and  there will be more support in not re-gaining the weight lost!  As movement patterns change the memories are released and the body supports the new you!

Added Benefits – The added benefits I have witnessed are increased interest and aliveness in living.  Adding activities, reduced effort in order to return to life.  Clients have even been able to return to work.

Please note – This is not a movement method designed for a work out from which to tone and reduce body fat, nor is it physical therapy, or a method designed for specifically stretching muscles such as yoga.  This is a method of working closely with a practitioner in order to assess your individual patterns that are restricted you from having an easier life.

2. Balance & Stabilize

2nd Step – Feeding the Body for Balancing and Stabilizing Blood Sugars, Reducing Cholesterol, Balance Hormones

Even just considering weight loss is a good time for beginning to support your body with nutrients that are no longer available in our food sources.  This will begin to support health in your lifestyle even before making a commitment to changing your diet.   This shift into increasing nutrition will quietly support you in making better choices.

HOW? – This type of nutrition enhances brain activity, reduces stress, balances hormones and blood sugar.   My personal experience is that I notice I no longer feel the constant nagging of hunger or craving.  When I go for something to eat I am not even drawn to the same foods.  It’s no longer a mental effort, it’s physical.  I am being drawn to healthier foods without mentally struggling with the choice beforehand!

The added benefits is supporting ourselves with the toxins that have built up in our bodies.  This is one reason loosing fat tissue is difficult. The toxins we eat, breath and absorb need somewhere to go.  Beginning to feed your body the nutrients we are missing in our food stabilizes anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity.  It helps to build a stronger liver and increase antioxidant levels in your body to help protect against disease and illness. It will support removing wastes, toxins, free radicals and heavy metals and assist in rebuilding health at a cellular level.

Why Avena? I have found Avena to be a fuller more complete system that leaves me feeling healthier, with more vitality, energy and gentler with positive physical reactions.  As I am taking Avena to support loosing weight I am recognizing it’s become a lifestyle change that is including the structural level of the body functioning.  It is rebuilding and generating a better functioning digestive and elimination system.  I have more comfort, ease and feel healthy from the inside!  This is one Health Club I am happy to have joined!

Back to Weight Loss

Sunday, August 01, 2010

Clients regaining their functional health and well being will eventually turn their focus to weight loss.  Clients who have been in pain, under stress or with limited mobility find the last thing they have the energy and time for is their weight.  Recently a few clients shared with me how they have joined weight watchers and on Thursdays when they go in to specifically weigh themselves the centre reeks.  In more detail I was told that the participants of weight watchers all take laxatives so they can eliminate before their weigh in.

This news was shared with me after we began speaking of the benefits of a Herbal Detox program I happen to be following through Avena Originals.  These clients tried some samples and became impressed with the results.  The main one is that with Avena’s Herbal Detox there is no smell! Even after eating read meat!  Also this program is not a laxative and is designed to restore the muscle movement increasing the natural action through our digestion/elimination functioning.

Following this program myself, I am personally experiencing my tummy bulge decrease as the number of times I find myself eliminating increasing throughout the day.  The Avena medical and scientific references suggest for every meal you should eliminate.  This was not my experience prior to beginning this program. According to the journals we carry anywhere from 15 to 25 pounds through our colon that we are not eliminating and that is toxic.

WHY Avena Originals – It is a program that is gentle and designed to support the healthy rebuilding of our digestive and elimination system that will increase the food into our cells.  It will regenerate the natural actions of pushing through the colon re-toning the walls.  It is formulated to be the most available for your bodies absorption.

As you begin this program vitality will begin to return as your sluggish colon revives and you just may recognize more spontaneous activities beginning!

  • What is a calorie? A calorie is a unit of energy and you need this to function.  Energy is extracted from the food you eat and transforms via your enzymes into the energy you need to pump your heart, work your lungs and power your brain. Each of us will require a certain number of calories to operate efficiently as human beings.  The number for each of us depends upon our age, height, physical activities and weight.  (Called basal metabolic rate)

It is measured by scientists who place food into an insulated chamber and then place this chamber into water.  The food is then burned and the water temperature is measured.  It takes one calorie to raise one gram of water one degree centigrade.

  • What does it take to loose one pound of body fat? Did you know that to loose one pound of body fat your body needs a deficit of 3,500 calories?  If you reduced your daily calorie intake by 500 calories per day over 7 days you would reach 3,500 calories.
  • Basal Metabolic Rate The Basal Metabolic Rate is a formula for your body’s calorie needs that was  developed in the early 1900’s.  This forumula is still used today and it takes into account variables such as age, gender, height, weight and physical activity.  It is considered to be an accurate yardstick for determining your body’s basal metabolic rate to maintain your current weight and level of physical actitivity.
  • Check BMI Calculator
  • Body Fat Stores Toxins – Another reason we cannot loose weight!

Toxins we eat, drink and are exposed to have so abundant that it has become too much for our livers to handle.  The body stores the toxins the liver cannot handle in order to get to them later.  They are stored in our fat cells.   Another reason why we cannot loose weight!

Follow for ideas towards lifestyle changes for increasing health and reducing weight!
