There is a swift influx of consciousness that is sweeping through the planet right now, and a LOT of theories describing that process. Today I probably heard the best. It was on the Truth Denied radio show, and I was listening to a guest interview with James Gilliland. He was explaining the current spiritual change that we are facing and claimed that up until this point, humans have lived on the planet as beings who inhabit the bottom three chakras. Anyone familiar with the chakra system will understand then, that we have been living in an age dominated by survival, sex and power. Wow. If there has ever been a better way to describe the last era in three words, that was it. Survival, Sex and Power. Looking around at our current culture, economy and value systems, you can really see a physical expression of how poorly we have balanced those three conditions. In fact, all three seem to be wildly out of control, on many personal, family and even national levels. Gratefully however, we are in a time of great spiritual evolution. I’ve heard it said that we are moving from third dimensional spiritual beings, into ‘fourth dimensional’ ones, but I’ve found that a concept that is hard to grasp. Gilliland simplifies it saying: we are evolving “up into our fourth chakra – the heart space”. This description is understandable to me, and incredibly reassuring. It blends well with a myriad of popular spiritual theories like evolving consciousness and the coming of a ‘golden age’. It makes sense if you think about it. Consciousness, just like every other living thing in existence is evolving. As vehicles for consciousness, the pressure to change is currently impacting us – forcing us to grow – right up into our heart space. It is not difficult to see how a species that is NOT grounded its heart space would suffer from its inability to hold survival, power and sexual urges in check. These wild and uncontrolled energies...

John and Anna Van Dyk are parents of a young son with Autism. During this spring’s Seminar: Holistic Approaches: Autism, they shared their personal story – which you can watch below. I highly recommend watching it, as their experiences seeking ‘help’ for their child, beautifully reflected many of the themes that emerged during the seminar. When many health and wellness practitioners work with patients, they do so holistically. Holistic means that they treat the ‘whole person’. So instead of giving medicine to terminate a symptom, practitioners seek out root causes, examining everything from emotions to environment to family habits. This creates lasting health and more positive change. But how can this kind of approach help children with Autism? As many of the practitioners at the seminar pointed out – Autism is not a ‘disease’ that can be ‘cured’ with medicine. So, ‘treating’ children with Autism is more about working with ‘whole people’ and learning to see children with Autism as ‘whole’. Practitioners who work from this philosophy can offer parents more than just treatments. They can help them find peace. According to John and Anna, it was after seeing meditation expert, and founder of The New Earth’s Children Centre, Michelle LeRoy that they were able to experience their own shift, learning to accept their son instead of cure him. They found it amazing that throughout all their attempts to change their child, what they really needed to change was themselves. After this personal reflection, they found that acceptance of their son’s difference put them on the path towards repairing a relationship they hadn’t realized was broken. Practitioner Marcela Grant as well as a number of other presenters at the seminar spoke at length about the emotional sensitivity of Autistic children. Marcela proposed that children pick up on their parents complex emotions with incredible accuracy. Many autistic children feel the frustration and disappointment in their parents and it is this dissonance that can actually become a basis for many communication problems. Anna speaks to this in...

Healing is a natural ability. We are all healers although most of us have lost our connection to our natural abilities. According to quantum physics our bodies are ‘condensed’ thought energy living in a sea of energy. By re-establishing our connection to that sea we naturally regenerate & rejuvenate ourselves. We can also direct this energy to transmute our environment. By understanding the laws of nature governing the harnessing of this energy, the healer never depletes him/herself of energy, and never absorbs the aches & pains of those receiving support. Each healing practice becomes a self-energizing experience for everyone involved. To be an effective healer you need to awaken you natural Telepathic & empathic abilities. Through an impeccable attitude one is able to use one’s awakened powers to assist recipients in strengthening their connection to their inner creative and intuitive resources – benefiting both parties.
