In a harmonious state,
humans live in close
contact with the ele-
ments of the natural
world. In such a state,
we may notice within
ourselves the changing of
the seasons. For example,
our bodies crave more sleep
in the long, dark hours of
winter, and we are far more
active during the longer days of
summer.
Five Elements Theory ex-
pands on yin/yang philos-
ophy to express our
cyclical journey through
peaks of high activity, de-
creasing activity, deep rest
and receptivity, and gradual
reawakening into high activity
once again. Accepting these cycli-
cal rhythms allows for the letting
go of ideas that we are not doing enough
in mid-winter, for example.
Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood are the Five Elements of Tra-
ditional Chinese Medicine and each is associated with a particular
season, a specific pair of bodily organs or functions, emotional
states, and more. Winter is the season of the Water Element, which
corresponds to the Bladder and Kidney organ meridians, pathways
involved in maintaining the body’s fluid level and regulating salt-
water balance. Kidney also influences all life processes and con-
nects us to the teachings of our ancestors.
The Water Element houses will and ambition, rules the spinal col-
umn, bones, teeth and marrow, governs sexual drive and reserve
energy, and strives to harmonize the emotions of fear and trust. The
associated sense organs are the ears. Imbalance in this element may
manifest as back pain, sciatica, fatigue, ear problems, headaches,
phobia, extreme emotional states, low sexual drive, and memory
difficulties.
Activities to nourish the Water Element include enjoying rest and
introspection, spending time near water, completing projects to
strengthen will, quieting fearful thoughts, caring for the back, and
embracing a spiritual path to build trust (Arnold Porter, 1991). Rec-
ommended foods include beans, dates, fish, chicken, root vegeta-
bles, leeks, seaweed, ginger, and flax seed. This winter, enter the
depths of the Water Element, release fear and have trust in what is
discovered therein!

Our valley is experiencing a wonder of nature as we have millions
of sockeye salmon returning home to the Adams River spawning
grounds. Mother Earth has provided us with a superb example of
abundance. These fish will feed the bear, fox, coyote, eagle and so
many other animals that we share our land with.
On a recent trip to visit the spawning grounds, my friends and I
were also delighted by the number of Eagles we saw. There must
have been 40 or more flying and sitting in trees surveying the valley
with their pensive looks. For me, eagles are a symbol of seeing our
world from a different perceptual state which allows us to see our
world from a different vantage point.
We can become preoccupied in our life with so many external dis-
tractions, television, world affairs, concern over family and friends,
and life in general, that we miss the seasons and the gifts from na-
ture that are being presented right on our doorstep. It is important
to notice what is showing up upon the land we live on, and to con-
nect to the messages that may be there for us. We are connected to
this magnificent Mother Earth and she is the most benevolent
provider for all of the necessities of life. She literally provides us
with the food we eat, the clothes we wear and homes we live in; all
of this is a part of the abundance that is Mother Earth.
A few years ago, I had the privilege of traveling to Peru where I
studied with the medicine men and women there. In this ancient
culture, the name for Mother Earth is “Pacha Mama”, and every-
where you go there is a reminder of the connection to this great
provider. It is evident in their spirituality and jewelry; their textiles
have stories of the connection to Pacha Mama woven into them,
and the weavings tell stories of the Mountains or “Apu’s” as they
call them. They also create beauty in their weavings about the star
constellations in the sky at night, including the Southern Cross, and
Milky Way. In this way, there is a constant reminder of our connec-
tion to the Mother Earth. There are also amazing ceremonies that
are performed to honor the connection to the world that supports
us as we live this journey of life.
This spring I had the experience of visiting Stonehenge on the Sal-
isbury Plain at sun rise. Standing among these magnificent stones
gave me time to ponder how these gigantic stones came to be in
this place and how they were transported there. Traveling is a won-
derful way to explore the world and to expand our minds and sense
of wonder; it also has helped me to appreciate what we have in our
own magnificent valley here in Kamloops.
The water ways of the Fraser River, Kamloops Lake, South Thomp-
son River, Shuswap Lake, Adams River and Adams Lake are to be
held in gratitude that they can support the journey of all of these
sockeye salmon. Without the clean clear waters to swim in, these
creatures of nature would not be able to complete their life cycle.
The sockeye are a wonder of nature and a symbol for me of perse-
verance and a reminder to not give up. They provide a wonderful
example of trusting in intuition and knowing, as they swim their
way home. We too can access our intuition as we journey through
our lives, and this can help us to access our inner wisdom.
In a time when we may be tempted to be worried about our future
and the economy, I would suggest we take a moment to observe
that before us is a grand example of abundance. To see the millions
of fish that our valley has been gifted with should give us pause to
be grateful and trust in the Universal Abundance that is there for
us.
It will be interesting what comes forth for us in 2011, but as we
move into this New Year, it may serve us to be grateful for the abun-
dance Mother Earth has shared with us in 2010.

Accepting Abundance!By Therese Dorer

Health today is often about looking younger and more beautiful. There can
even be societal pressures for beauty expectations that may be unrealistic
to live up to. Initially this may be what motivates some people to pursue a
Facial Rejuvenation Program, but the effects will be far more profound than
simply improving one's appearance. Natural beauty radiates when the body
and mind are healthy and balanced. In order to change one’s physical ap-
pearance, the body needs to be treated as a whole, from the inside out.
Acupuncture has many health promoting whole body effects. To correct
signs of aging, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treats both local, and un-
derlying root imbalances of each individual’s health and aging process.
What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also called Cosmetic Acupuncture, is a
safe, non-surgical method effective in reducing the signs of aging. Hair-thin
acupuncture needles are inserted in specific locations on the face, neck,
ears, hands, and feet based on the principles of Chinese Medicine. Single
use, disposable needles are placed in energy pathways (or meridians) that
either begin, or end on the face, and work to balance the energy flow of a
person’s body. A Certified Practitioner of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
understands how to influence the signs of aging on the face, while also
treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. The
treatments will improve your overall appearance and help bring forth your
inner radiance.
Acupuncture helps resolve blockages in the meridians so energy (qi) is free
to move. Blood and qi will then have a better flow to the face to properly hy-
drate, nourish, and tone the skin while diminishing fine lines. Facial Rejuve-
nation Acupuncture can erase 5-10 years from your face, with results
apparent after just a few treatments.
Facial Rejuvenation with acupuncture helps to naturally improve the Qi cir-
culation of the whole body. Therefore nutrition and oxygen are able to reach
the skin to eliminate and remove unwanted toxins.
While the face is focused on in these treatments, it is important to under-
stand that the whole being is addressed for balanced body, mind, and spirit
health.
Jennifer Larsen has completed modules 1 and 2 of a certification series in Advanced
Constitutional Facial Renewal. She became certified through Chi-Akra Center in New
York with founder Mary Elizabeth Wakefield www.chiakra.com

Wellness is more than simply physical health and the absence of disease. An easy way to realize this is to imagine a wheel of life,
with spokes dividing it into sections. Dividing this Wellness Wheel into individual categories and assessing your level of wellness
in each area, allows you to see exactly where improvements or interventions are needed. Most doctors, if not all doctors, today rec-
ognize that stress is the cause of many illnesses, and a contributor to even genetic illness. (Read the book, “The Biology of Belief”
by Dr. Bruce Lipton for more information on how even your genes are affected by stress and your beliefs.) The Wellness Wheel is
a useful way to assess the diverse aspects of your life and to find ways to bring any areas of deficiency into a more optimal level.
Let’s imagine a wheel divided into categories:
This Wellness Wheel is an excellent tool to show just where wellness
habits are causing problems. Take a look at the example below:
The second wheel is nowhere near round. Again, if you can
imagine the Wellness Wheel as a wheel of life, turning throughout
the days, it is easy to see that this person has a very bumpy ride. It
is also very easy to see where improvements need to be made (where
the lowest levels of the color are). In this example, we can see that this
is a person who has challenges with flexibility, pain, posture, and tension
As well, stress and hydration are also areas that could use improvement.
From the groupings of areas which need improvement, you can also tell which modalities might be most useful in helping this
person improve their health. Without knowing why this person is in pain, you can see that posture and flexibility are also very low.
It could be that yoga therapy, with its emphasis on aligning the body correctly, would be very useful for this person; perhaps along
with some relaxation techniques to improve the tension score. Feldenkrais classes might also be useful. The energy score is also
low, although food choices, breathing, weight, and cardio vascular fitness (which all affect energy) are at acceptable or good levels.
You can then begin to look for reasons why the energy level scored so low; it may simply be that so much effort is going into
holding off pain that no energy is left, or energy might be being drained by poor posture or stress. Stress management classes might
also be helpful in improving energy.
The Wellness Wheel is more than a simple assessment. It is a powerful tool to show where improvement is most needed.
Cara has developed course and programs such as the Anxiety Protocol, Stress Resiliency, and Clearing the Way to Your Divinity, published several books, such as Making Powerful Choices
and From Stress to Success and continues to work with client s who desire relief from inner turmoil along with increased performance. Although Cara is not a clinical counsellor, she has
years of training in working with the meridian system of the body, and a number of variations of Energy Psychology, and is an ordained minister. Her approach reflects both her spirituality
and understanding of the energy systems of the body, along with a total acceptance of the reality of a clients emotions.
For a complementary wellness assessment, call The Let’s Move Studio Wellness Centre for your own Wellness Wheel and then book a complementary consultation
with Cara to see how you might be able to easily improve your wellness. 250-372-9642

Something in me has changed. I don’t usually look forward to the hol-
idays, but this year I am. I think the biggest difference is that I’ve
learned how to take care of myself and simplify my life to the point
that I’m welcoming the pretty lights and gatherings of good people
this time of the year brings, without any of the usual stress.
“How do you get yourself in that frame of mind?” you might ask.
Well, here are some suggestions:
1. Don’t Wait Till New Years To Start Your Resolution. You want to
get in better shape, eat well, do more yoga, learn how to knit – what-
ever it is, don’t put it off until the New Year. You’re a lot more likely
to actually make the changes you want if you start now and get into
the habit. That way when the end of January rolls around and most
people have already abandoned their resolutions, you’ll still be moti-
vated and follow through because you’ve made it a part of your life.
So whatever you want in your life, take a step RIGHT NOW to make
it happen. Enroll in a yoga or fitness class. Dust off your guitar. Carve
out the time for yourself and keep at it. You’ll feel better immedi-
ately!
2. Simplify Your Schedule. Rather than commit to every event you’re
invited to, only go to the ones that matter. Book yourself time off at
least once a week. Write it on your calendar, and dedicate that day to
something that feeds your soul and nourishes your body.
3. Stick To Your Practice. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that
skipping my yoga practice is a bad idea. I get irritable, uncomfortable
in my body, and life in general becomes more difficult. Practicing
yoga and working out clear your mind and keep your body happy.
When you simplify your schedule, as above, make sure you block off
time for yoga class or your personal practice. You’ll be much happier,
and a lot more fun to be around.
4. Get Over The Gifts. My mother-in-law starts shopping for Christ-
mas gifts in June. In a way, she’s smart because she spreads it out and
doesn’t have to worry the week before. Personally, I don’t jive with
the feeling of obligation and the corresponding stress that the tradition
of gift giving has created in our society.
If you really WANT to give someone a gift, do so. If it’s going to
strain your budget, do up a hand-made card, invite them for a potluck,
or just tell the person how much they mean to you. If you don’t want
to (or are not in the position to) give gifts, then don’t. It’s the gen-
erosity that counts, and that has to come from the heart and can be
expressed in many ways.
5. Eat Things That Nourish You. Make sure that the majority of your
diet consists of nutrient rich foods that provide your body what you
need to stay healthy and energetic. Keep in mind that sugar and alco-
hol do not help your immune system, and make your body work a lot
harder. Over eating will likely make you feel pretty lousy. You know
this already, so make a commitment to yourself to act accordingly.
Don’t deprive yourself, but don’t binge either. Indulge in moderation.
6. Pamper Yourself. Some ideas: Take a bath, light some candles, put
on soothing music, get a massage, curl up with a book and a cup of
tea, or go to a Restorative Yoga class… Take care of yourself by
bringing into your life more of the things that make you feel good and
help you rest.
7. Connect To Your Core. There are so many things pulling at us that
sometimes it’s easy to forget your own truth. Connecting to your core
happens on every level – body, mind, and heart. Yoga and working
out help you stay strong in your physical core, and also calm your
mind and can bring you back to your heart if done with awareness.
Meditation is one of the best practices to keep you sane and serene.
Even a few minutes makes a big difference.
These suggestions can make a world of difference when you weave
them into your life. Just be consistent, and keep coming back to your
breath. It will guide you back to your heart. Then everyone will be
wondering how you stay so happy and peaceful amidst the festive
frenzy. When they ask, just smile and invite them to your yoga class
to see for themselves.

ATTUNEMENT: A Sacred Healing Art and Spiritual Practice
By Marylin Manderson
InteriorAttunementSERVICE
Marilyn Manderson(250) 579-9444
The practitioner uses his or her sensitivity to energetically work with
the vibrational field of the client to assist in activating a free flow of
life energy between physical and spiritual dimensions.
The endocrine system of seven ductless glands is given specific em-
phasis. (Attunement notes the relationship between endocrine glands
and the energy centers known as chakras.) Balancing the energy flow
through these gateways, organs, body systems and energy meridians
helps to bring health and well-being on very deep and fundamental
levels.
A practitioner may use Attunement in conjunction with other com-
plementary modalities to support a client's experience.
Living in Attunement
The more attunement is experienced, the more it is lived. A person's
consciousness becomes more highly attuned to an inner wellspring,
a healthful radiance. The actions of daily living spring more naturally
from deeper, life-affirming rhythms of the Self. The hands of the prac-
titioner are doing more than simply balancing energy; they are the
hands of love, guiding one through the internal landscape to a still
place, an inner sanctuary, where the Authentic Self may safely grow,
flourish and manifest in living.
What will I feel?
An attunement session lasts from 20 minutes to one hour, with the re-
cipient either seated or lying down.
Most people report feeling relaxed, at peace, and at ease. They also
have a sense of being more in touch with themselves than usual. A
range of perceptions and sensations may be experienced, e.g. falling
into a state of deep relaxation, seeing colors, feeling heat/cold, tin-
gling. As Attunement works on subtle energy levels, its effects may
be felt in the hours and days following a session
To summarize, Attunement:
deeply relaxes and renews
supports a healing process
nurtures life transitions and change
deepens your connection with Spirit or Source
enfolds a person or situation about which you care
allows you to let go more fully to the life current
"The purpose of attunement is to establish alignment in the body mind
and heart with the natural forces of being - alignment in the body with
the forces of life from Source." Lloyd A. Meeker, Founder of Attune-
ment. For more info see ad below:
Overview: Attunement is a sacred
practice that increases one's experience
of the Source within. It sees the human
body as a dynamic, self-healing ex-
pression of a deeper spiritual Self.
Attunement acknowledges that each of us is a combination of Human,
physical substance drawn from the earth, and Being, an invisible, an-
imating life force. Inherent in Being is a wellspring of energy and
specific purpose, yet the connection with our Beingness has been
clouded by various experiences, including stress, conflict and disease.
Attunement is a process of clarifying and deepening our connection
with Being, so that a more vivid experience of wholeness, peace and
abundant personal power is known.
The practice of attunement enhances the experience of oneness and
coherence, and gives rise to a sense that all of one's disparate parts
are integrated into one vital Whole.
Technique: The core technique of attunement is the sharing of a radi-
ant energy current through the hands of the attunement practitioner.
During an attunement the hands of the practitioner are held over areas
of the body.

Can we create our own heaven on Earth right here, right now? If so,
how do we do that? Well, one giant step would be to honour all people
and their chosen faiths. If we can appreciate that there is only One
Universal Presence and many paths to this Divinity, then we will have
truly taken that step in the direction of Heaven on Earth. Does heaven
on earth come from love, peace and honour? I think so!
We can promote universal awareness of Life by acknowledging that
all people and all faiths, come from the One, which we call Spirit or
God or Allah or myriad other names for the Divine. It is this funda-
mental truth, the unifying nature of all Religious thought and experi-
ence, which we honour.
There are many other paths to the Divine. Do they all run parallel
and have the same destination ? Nothing is askew in the Universe.
There is a reason for everything and it is all right and all good. Why
should we demean the dignity of noble and beautiful souls, all cre-
ations of The One? There will only be deep peace between all of us,
when our dialogue is inclusive and our hearts are open to the Truth
with a capital “T”. We are all one as we make our way on our own
unique paths. When we reach out with love and honour, our path be-
comes smoother and a little bit closer to heaven on earth.
Lana Graham, President
Centre for Spiritual Living Kamloops

Take a moment and listen to your self talk. What are the words you
are saying to yourself inside your head? Do you offer yourself en-
couragement? Do you offer yourself support? Or do you offer your-
self criticisms and doubts? Many people walk through their lives
giving themselves a constant running commentary of negative self
talk. You may have some favorite phrases that go through your head
such as: it’s too late; what would people think; it is too hard; I’m not
good enough; I’m not smart enough; things never go my way; it’s all
their fault; they don’t understand etc. Right now is the perfect time
to start noticing exactly what it is you are saying to yourself.
Your thoughts are the most powerful thing that you have
and are truly the only thing in this
world that you have con-
trol over. When you re-
ally understand this, you
can begin the amazing
journey of directing your
life in any way that you
want.
If right now you believe that
life is always going against
you, that you never get what
you want, you’re right. You
will not get what you want.
You can feel powerless like you
are being tossed in the waves
and never able to reach the
shore. Resentments, criticism,
guilt and fear are some of the
biggest reasons that hold people
back from reaching their highest
potential. We are excellent at self-criticism, when what we need to
be is excellent at is self love and appreciation.
If you believe that your life is joyous, it will be joyous and you will
attract more joy. If you believe that your life is full of love, it will
be full of love and you will attract even more love. No matter what
you desire, your thoughts hold the key to reaching your goals.
The great news is that no matter where you are at, it is the perfect
place to start tuning into your thoughts and guiding them in the di-
rection you want to go in. Each and every day is the perfect place to
start changing your thoughts and reaching for more positive thoughts.
If you are not sure what to reach for, start with gratitude. By taking
a few moments to think about what you are grateful for, you can turn
even the worst day into something so much better. The first thing
that you should be grateful for is you! You are a beautiful and mirac-
ulous human being. You are perfect, whole and complete. You are
full of power, intelligence, wisdom and intuition.
“The universe is constantly expanding” is a theory explained by the
scientist Edwin Hubble. This the-
ory is also true for you. Not only
do you have the ability to con-
stantly expand your own per-
sonal universe, but you also
have the ability to benefit from
a constantly expanding source
of abundance, love and joy.
By asking for something, you
are not taking away from
someone else because there is
a never ending, inexhaustible
supply in the Universe. So
long as we sweetly guide
our thoughts, more and
more of what we wish will
appear. We can begin to
experience life as we
imagine it. The universe
is here to support you and
truly wants you to succeed.
So what thoughts and beliefs are limiting you? Are you willing to
continue to allow those thoughts and beliefs to hold you back from
living your best life? Each of us has so much to offer and so many
gifts to share.There are endless possibilities and ways for each of us
to do this in the world. Start with you. Start with your thoughts.
Close your eyes and sit for a moment and imagine a warm glow in
your heart. Visualize and feel the warmth of this glow as you allow
it to spread through your entire body. Allow this feeling to begin to
change the way you think and the words that you use when you talk
to yourself. You are a beautiful, powerful and miraculous being!

Yuen Energetics™ Comes to Kamloops
Yuen Energetics™ technologies are the cutting edge of non-traditional medicine,involving non-medical corrections, hands-off therapy with rapid helpful results.This therapy works harmoniously with Western medicine.
Yuen Energetics™ works on the premise that our physical bodies are a complexnetwork of interwoven energy fields and circuitry. Yuen Energetics finds the weak-nesses that cause energy blockages, deficiencies and excesses and correctsthem. Corrections can be in the areas of health, learning, wealth, work, communi-cations and peak performance.
When you see a Yuen Energetics practitioner, he/she will be looking for all the areasof weakness that cause your difficulty. These weak areas are corrected, and oftenstrengthened on the spot in the session. Because Yuen Energetics deals with lim-itless concepts {all of the causes of weakness or disease} it achieves results veryquickly.
How does this possibly happen you might ask? For demonstration purposes wewould use muscle testing to detect where the weakness is and then energeticallycall in the correction. Yuen Energetics does distance work over the phone. In factthis is the common practice these days.
On a personal note, I had a correction for snoring in April 2010 and it is still hold-ing. In June I had a session for dry eyes, a medically diagnosed condition, andovernight my eyes re-established their normal fluids. My sessions were done overthe phone with practitioners in the prairie provinces because that was who wasavailable.
Yuen Energetics practitioners are available in Kamloops and across WesternCanada. Sessions can be done in person or via the telephone. Local practitionersare Christie Grant at 250-372-7381, Dilpreet T. at 604-996-8255 and ThereseLaforge at 778-471-5598.
Therese wondered as a child about our power to regenerate our bodies. Now she pursues the
multiple paths of alternative energy medicine. Therese sees well timed, quick acting methods
available now to serve our needs for wellness and health. She challenges herself to let go of
limitations and trust that she is capable of so much more health on all levels.

Book Review:
Broken OpenHow Difficult Times Can Help Us to Grow
By Elizabeth Lesser
A few months ago, a friend loaned me “Broken Open”, saying, “I
think you’ll like this read!” and of course, she was right.
It was while visiting a small shop, many years ago, in Jerusalem, that
the author, Elizabeth Lesser’s
journey of self realization
began. In deep pain and
confusion over her crum-
bling marriage she had
ducked into a small
dusky shop, only to be
c o m p a s s i o n a t e l y
greeted by an elderly
Islamic man and his
son. Sensing her pain,
the older man lead her past a pile of
Persian rugs on the floor, to a small painting, of a
rosebud, hanging at the back of the shop. Beneath the lovely painting
were these words:
And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
Was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
The time had come for Elizabeth’s emergence into her own strength
and personhood. In the course of the book, she tells of her heart open-
ing, rewarded with the ensuing healing and feeling of self-empower-
ment. As the co-founder of Omega Institute, the world’s largest centre
for spiritual retreat and personal growth, she has been witness to the
circumstances of transition and change in many lives. The reader is
quickly drawn in to the beautifully documented stories of these lives.
Through Elizabeth’s humorous insight and wise guidance, one is of-
fered the tools needed to face the unexpected challenges that life pres-
ents.
This book is immensely readable. Her passages and stories about
children and parenting are down to earth and honest. Section titles in-
clude ‘The Call of the Soul’, ‘The Shaman Lover’, and ‘The River of
Change’. Birth and death are covered honestly and sensitively. Many
of the short chapters stand alone and don’t need to be read in se-
quence. She ends “Broken Open” with the appendix, entitled: Tool-
box. Within these pages she includes meditation instructions and
advice on working with therapists and healers.
“Broken Open”, is one of those comfortable, entertaining, and life
changing books that has us dipping into the lives of others and seeing
mirrored the richness of our own trials and adversities. Elizabeth
Lesser has gifted us with valuable keys to our own emergence as
strong, confident and vital human beings.

ness of humankind. She is also a good friend of "The Yoga Tree". [email protected].

TRANSFORMATION GROUP
PURPOSE OF THE TRANSFORMATION GROUP
To facilitate individual and collective transformation, and to help bring forth
the reality of the divine on earth.
WHAT IS A TRANSFORMATION GROUP?
A transformation group is a group of individuals that meets regularly over a
period of a number of weeks with the shared purpose of accelerating individ-
ual and collective spiritual transformation. The magic of a transformation
group is a simple but powerful format, and its ability to establish and sustain
a strong covenant and culture of transformation based on the spirit of love.
FORMAT, CONTENT AND DURATION
The transformation groups meet once every two weeks, for 90 minutes or so.
The first half of the meeting is typically devoted to connection building using
an opening sanctification, a transformation check-in time, story telling and
appreciation time. Following this, there is a consideration of inspirational ma-
terial and/or an experiential exercise based on such material. In many locations
these groups go for a number of months, with some ongoing for years.
A COVENANT OF TRANSFORMATION
A key aspect of a transformation group is a basic covenant of transformation
entered into by the individuals in the group. This can be stated as a commit-
ment, intent or prayer to express the true character of love in one's living, no
matter what arises. This simple but powerful intent, however articulated by
the individuals, forms the foundational agreement and spirit of the transfor-
mation group. To personally hold the intent to express the truth of love no
matter what arises, is a powerful transformational act. To share and be true to
that intent together with others is an extraordinary act which favors Love's in-
crease on earth. Many have found the sharing and following through with
such a covenant of spirit and love thrilling and alive-changing. Would you be
interested in sharing this possibility?
IF INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE
You are welcome to join for one session, a few sessions, or to commit to par-
ticipate for a longer duration. The sessions will be held at the home of Marilyn
Manderson, 4985 Westsyde Road, beginning on Tuesday, January 11th. 2011
at 7:30 p.m. Phone: (250) 579-9444 or email [email protected].
The sessions will be every second Tuesday evening. Please feel free to contact
Marilyn by phone or email to register, or for further information.
WHAT IS TRANSFORMATION?
These transformation groups are occurring in the context of a key premise:
that human beings are already perfect angelic beings whose outer capacities
may have fallen asleep, or may have been temporarily scarred in some way.
On that basis, spiritual transformation is the awakening and transformation
of the outer human capacities to accommodate the already present angelic
being. Thus, the transformation groups are dedicated to facilitate the coming
forth of the angel in each one. The end result will be Love's fuller emergence
on earth.
Group Coordinator: Marilyn Manderson is retired from nursing and has had
a keen interest in the process of Transformation, and in the practice of Attune-
ment, an energy healing modality, for over thirty years. She offers Attunement
at her home, and is a teacher of Attunement. She lives in a quiet country setting
which lends itself to a deepening connection with Source, and an appreciation
of the beauty of the natural world.

Constitutional Facial RenewalIntroductory Special -
Look and feel years younger!
Jennifer Larsen, R.Ac 250-376-3070
Many people have an affinity for willows. As a
name, Willow almost fills the mouth with winds and gentle rustlings. Who
could ever forget a summer leaning against the trunk of an ancient willow
tree and listening to the river’s song? As well, willow is almost synonymous
with water.
Willow is a healer of the spirit, the soul and the body. To the ancient Druids,
willow was a sacred tree. It was also one of the seven sacred trees of the Irish
and is considered sacred to the White Goddess. For the Native American, the
willow tree supplied a medicine and a wood that was used for many purposes
including smoking salmon and drying meat. Old wood was used to start fires
and was even called the match wood. It is willow with its bendable qualities
that is used to make the child’s first dream catcher; bendable like children
are. Some Native tribes regard it as a Grandfather, an elder, someone to give
advice and be listened to. Throughout our history, willow has served a noble
purpose but perhaps its strongest and most auspicious strength is that of a
healer.
In 400 BC Hippocrates of Kos recommended a tea be made from the bark of
the willow tree for fever, pain, and labour. The active substance in this juice,
which does ease pain, is salicylic acid. Used for centuries, willow became
the aspirin we know today after Friedrich Bayer a weaver and a dyer who ac-
tually worked with the first coal tar dyes (before that they were always made
from organic sources) passed away. Bayer passed in 1880, and in 1897 Felix
Hoffmann, a chemist, was experimenting with a waste product of one of the
dye components to try and find relief for his father’s rheumatism. Hoffmann
ended up chemically synthesising a stable form of salicylic acid powder. This
compound became the active ingredient in Bayer’s pharmaceutical product
the aspirin. Thus, the benefits of willow are available in a small white pill or
from the strands of tree bark.
According to Culpepper’s Complete Herbal, the moon owns the willow tree.
The leaf, bark and seeds are used to stench the bleeding of wounds. Bruised
with pepper and drunk in wine leaves helps the wind-colic. Willow can be
used to stop a fever, although in certain cases children should not use willow
for that purpose. Willow is also wonderful for headaches; about a teaspoon
of the bark to a cup of water. Willow has been used to relieve toothaches,
cold, flu, fever and gout. It is also used to help with carpal tunnel syndrome
and to protect from heart attack, stroke, and colorectal cancer.
A lovely tea can easily be made using willow. (If you are, for some reason,
allergic to aspirin you may want to avoid this willow remedy. Also children
with fevers should not be given willow because it can yield consequences.
Instead try yarrow.) Willow is a tad bitter when brewed and you may need to
experiment to find the right taste for you. Where the tree is from, the amount
of water available, and the time of year willow is gathered can all have an ef-
fect on the strength and the taste of the tea. Also, stay away from trees which
have been treated with pesticides. One tea I like to make with willow is this:
Ginger – 1 tsp
Willow – 1 tsp
Lemon Balm – 1 tsp
Peppermint – 1 tspNever boil the mixture; just pour boiling water over the combined herbs, and enjoy.
This tea makes the best use of the willow without the overpowering taste.
Aspirin or its herbal equivalents should not be given to children with colds. When chil-
dren take aspirin like drugs for viral infections there is a chance they can develop
Reye’s syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that damages liver and brain. P.171 The
Green Pharmacy, James A. Duke PH.D.
