By Brenda Renee “Gong Xi Fa Cai”! On January 23rd, colorful paper lanterns, music, and long, dancing dragons will decorate the streets of Asian-based communities, as red, red, and more red will explosively and passionately ring in the Chinese New Year of the Dragon! People will joyfully greet each other with “Gong Xi Fa Cai,” meaning: “Congratulations and be prosperous!” Chinese New Year marks the death of winter and the rebirth of spring, which is why “congratulations” are offered for the survival through winter. This spring festival is based on the Chinese calendar. It differs from the Gregorian calendar because it is calculated on lunar/solar movements. Each year, the Chinese New Year falls on the 2nd new moon after the winter solstice,...
Read moreBy Jack Silverman, AP, DOM What makes Chinese Medicine unique among alternative modalities is that it not only treats and removes the symptoms of health problems; it also attempts to discover and treat the cause of an illness. The apparent cause of a health problem, such as the weakness of an organ, normally can be corrected with acupuncture and Chinese herbs; however, practitioners of Chinese Medicine frequently find that a deeper underlying cause of a health problem exists—and it is emotional in nature. If this primary cause is not addressed, it may be impossible to completely resolve the issue on all levels. The Seven Emotions of Chinese Medical Theory In my practice I regularly see all types of ailments with emotional causes at the root. According to...
Read moreBy Natalie Amsden, Publisher of Transformation Magazine Since the popular book and movie The Secret hit the shelves in 2006, the concept of The Law of Attraction (LOA) has spread like wildfire, attracting believers and critics alike. Believers—who call themselves “deliberate creators”—practice the processes of positive thought, affirmative thinking, and visualization, believing that whatever we think about (wealth or poverty, joy or suffering, love or loneliness) the Universe will deliver. Critics of LOA usually acknowledge that positive thinking has benefits but argue that there is no scientific proof that the theory works as “sold.” They see LOA’s one-size-fits-all solution to life’s large and small problems as misleading because it...
Read moreI am going to use Numerology to show you how to look at the Personal Year vibrations for self and loved ones for the New Year. Numerology is a combination of the Sciences of Astrology and Acrophonology. Acrophonology is an ancient science. It began as a study of the letters found in the Kabbalah, a record of the teachings of the ancient Hebrew mystics. Even in this new millennium, Acrophonology is a lost art and there are very few Acrophonologists. Astrology is a science based on the date, time and place of one’s birth. This knowledge is also found in Kabbalah, in the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament of the Bible. Numerology shows that we, as humans, go through many 9 year cycles in a lifetime, and each year within the 9 year cycle (one of which is YOUR personal year)...
Read more// Listen for FREE online as Transformation Magazine interviews Gregg Braden about his new book “Deep Truth: Igniting the Memory of Our Origin, History, Destiny, and Fate” http://www.suncoasttransformation.com/online/?p=1449 By Gregg Braden During the last years of the Cold War, I had a front row seat as a senior systems designer in the defense industry to one of the most frightening times in the history of the world and the thinking that led to it. During the last years of the most potentially lethal, yet undeclared, war in human history, the super powers of the United States and the former Soviet Union did something that seems unthinkable to any rationally minded person today. They spent the time, energy, and human resources to develop and stockpile somewhere in the...
Read more“…Whatever your particular journey has been, rest assured that nothing happens in your life that isn’t part of your Divine plan. Everything will serve your higher purpose in some way.” –from Be Your Own Shaman. If you had told me when I was in my early twenties that some day I would be considered a Master Healer, I would have thought you were drinking even more than I did. Not only was I an alcoholic, but I was also popping prescription drugs, chain smoking cigarettes, being sexually promiscuous, and using extreme diets to maintain my obsession with being a size two, all the while being an anxious workaholic corporate lawyer. I was totally out of touch with my body and not even aware of how messed up I really was. My rebellious out-of-control life was the...
