“If we continue reliving the wounds that have marked us over and over, we’ll end up passing them on to our children.  This generational curse can be broken by healing ourselves, creating a ripple effect that extends forwards and backward in time, bringing forgiveness and relief to our children and our ancestors.”

Alberto Villoldo 

The First Annual Healing Energy Networking Conference…

 proved to be a great success in many ways.  Saturday June 6^th 50 participants came together to network, share, listen, and reflect.   The Kempenfelt Conference Centre in Barrie, was the perfect location for such an event.  It sits on Lake Simcoe with forest all around!  Participants came from as far away as Ottawa!

The day was full beginning with two speakers in the morning, a long lunch with time to visit the Market place, then the last two speakers in the afternoon.  All the presenters were fabulous with great words of wisdom to share.

Holistic businesses set up their products to sell at the Market Place which was available to all the participants throughout the day.  Door prizes were very generously provided by the market place businesses.  Everyone had the opportunity to network through offering mini treatments, chatting with each other and also with displaying their cards and brochures on the networking table. 

We all know that food is important at these events!  The Kempenfelt Centre is owned by Georgian College and the food is prepared by the Culinary Program.  It was an exquisite buffet meal offering everything from soup, sandwiches, turkey dinner, salad bar and dessert bar! 

It was a full and fabulous day that promoted thought, awareness, development and friendship!  Stay tuned for the 2^nd Annual Healing Energy Networking Conference in June 2010!

Unleash The Past

I was reading the book “The Law of Attraction , Plain and Simple” and the chapter ”Unleash the Past” really spoke to me.  I hope that you too find my condensed version thought provoking.

Many people believe that the past is what has made us who we are today.  That doesn’t mean we must continually relive our past mistakes or regrets, nor should we pretend the past never happened.  It just means we should leave the past where it belongs — in the past.  Many of us take the negative feelings from these experiences and bring them into our present and even into our future. 

For example, if in a relationship your partner cheated on you, that experience may affect future relationships.  Each time you meet someone new, you may be apprehensive or even avoid getting serious altogether.  Your negative painful experience of the past is affecting and essentially sabotaging all your present and future relationships.  By releasing our attachment to the past, we create the open space of unlimited possibility and potential for the present and the future.  So if you were to leave that experience in the past, you would be capable of entering a new relationship without preconditioned beliefs and thoughts. 

When many people are asked the question “Why aren’t you living your dream life today?”, most give reasons that revolve around experiences from their past.  So the next question should be “So What?”  When we hold on to the past, all of our choices in life revolve around it, so by releasing and allowing it to just “be” and remain in the past, we can free ourselves to achieve anything we want in our lives. 

Recognize that the only place the past resides is in our memories —in our minds.  It is something we made up based on our interpretation of what happened.  Although we cannot change the past, we can change how we interpret it and release our negative feelings, limiting beliefs and thoughts.

Did You Know…

• INDEX puts on a “Design to Improve Life” awards event every four years.  In 2005 three contestants presented water purifying systems for developing nations:
• LifeStraws: at $2.00, it’s affordable!  It doesn’t need electricity or fuel to operate it.  One straw can purify 700 litres of water, the water supply of 1 person for a year.  It relies on suction to force water through filters that catch sediment then expose the water to iodine and active carbon.
• Solar Pasteurization Unit:  People are often told to boil water but lack access to wood or fuel to do so.  Costing about $7.00 the unit reflects sunlight to heat water to the boiling point.  It can also be used to pasteurize AIDS infected breast milk, or sterilize surgical instruments.
• OPV Personal Water Cleaner:  The Organic Molecular Photovoltaic Personal Water Cleaner is designed for areas exposed to monsoons or frequent flooding.  It will provide a family with potable water until help arrives.  The user applies pressure to a bellow and sucks on the attached pipe to receive purified drinking water.

I am Off Again!

On October 26th I will have the honour of again joining a distribution team with “Sleeping Children Around the World” in Nicaragua.  Our team of 6 volunteers will deliver 5,000 bedkits.  Yes, this is one of the things that makes my heart sing!  We will spend two weeks together and see many wonderful little smiling faces as they receive a gift from someone they have never met.  Never underestimate the involvement that you chose to make the world a better place.  Each interaction is as important as the other — sponsors, encouraging words, answering phones, travel with a purpose etc.  No words can describe the fulfilment of being a part of making a difference in OUR world!
