Steps to Awareness: World at peace
By Joshua Hayward
An event purely of peace is coming to the Rockies. A
festival whose 'soul' concern is peace will take place in
Telluride, Colorado, May 30, 31, and June 1. It will be the
16th Annual "Steps to Awareness," with the monumental theme of
"World at Peace." In the beautiful, peaceful Telluride
environment, Colorado will stand up to be counted among those
who feel world peace is humanity's true direction into the
times which lay before us.
Telluride also has quietly hosted "Steps to Awareness" for
each of the past 15 years. "World at Peace" is an enormous
theme, so we hope to reach out to the Western Slope, to the
Front Range, and all over the state to Coloradans, and to
anyone, anywhere, really. We want to touch your lives and be
touched by you. "Steps to Awareness" is a chance to get away
from your everyday environment and get into yourself and
others like you. If you are asking yourself, "What can I do
for peace?", then come to Telluride to find out.
"World at Peace" will focus energy on interactive workshops
geared toward generating peace on all levels. There will be
interesting, informative lectures focusing on peace. Lots of
live music and of course food will abound with the yearly
"Taste of Telluride." If all that were not enough, Steps to
Awareness will feature more vending booths than ever before.
Psychic and spiritual readings and healing will be available,
as will as all kinds of alternative health products, and very
cool original jewelry and clothing.
Commitments are already lining up from presenters, but we
have decided to withhold names until we are fully booked - so
you will just have to wait until next month for our sparkling
list of facilitators, lecturers, and musicians. Also scheduled
for the May issue of Connections, "Steps to Awareness" will
give a full list and complete schedule for "World at
Peace."
You may wish to purchase a ticket in advance for all of the
presentations (entry to the festival itself is free). You
receive entry to ALL workshops and lectures for just $75.
Advance ticket sales for combined workshop and lecture package
may be purchased online, at
TellurideTicket.com/organization.

Feng Shui For Dummies?
Feng Shui Training Coming to Montrose
By Ann-Marie Holmes
So many choices; so many directions to go these days with
the selection of books in the Feng Shui arena. One volume says
this is the right way and another proclaims something that
completely contradicts the other approach. What is right? What
is wrong? What happened to clarity?
In classes I teach, the main response from students to all
this diversity is confusion! How do we walk through all this
diversity and really learn Feng Shui?
First of all, Feng Shui, a 3,000-year-old art and science,
is a vast area of study with many points of view. I recommend
to clients and students to focus on one approach.
Become familiar and comfortable with one school, then
perhaps use others to support the base of your understanding.
I recommend the school affiliated with Professor Lin Yun. Many
good books and schools have grown around Professor Lin’s
commitment of teaching westerners for 20 years. One good book
is Feng Shui For Dummies by David Daniel Kennedy, a clear but
simple best seller.
Second, the study of Feng Shui is so much more than reading
a book. It is a way of life. Feng Shui is addressing living a
natural life, once again, where we are living side-by side
with our partner, nature. This study encourages a deepening of
our sensitivity; our awareness of the world around us.
Professor Lin has suggested we have 100 senses in our body; we
need to wake these senses up to perceive more around us.
Applying Feng Shui principles to your home on regularly is a
good tool in Feng Shui skill-building, paying attention to
sound, movement, color, and light at home and in nature.
Third, this study has always been an oral tradition with
apprentice/mentor associations furthering the tradition. In my
own process of becoming a consultant, my most beneficial times
of learning were in classes with the teacher and through
exchanges with the other students. I recommend attending
classes as a way to truly ground the information and make it
real for you.
(Ann-Marie Holmes has been a Consultant/Teacher for 13
years. She consults internationally, has published in
magazines, and presented and taught on TV, radio and at
conferences promoting these healing concepts. Her Feng Shui
training program, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is a
result of 15 years of study with Professor Lin Yun. Ann-Marie
will offer the first session of the training in Feng Shui in
Montrose on May 4th. Go to the web site www.fengshuiguild.com
and look under "Schools" for more details on the program. To
register and for more information, contact Dr. Judith Boice at
970.252.0985.)

Meditations: Soapbox of the President
By Larry Lemser
Where to start? There are so many significant issues that
are worthy of our attention at this time. Foremost, our
prayers are being sent to all of those participating in their
own way in the great effort to promote world peace. May God
bless you all. The Whole Life Network is devoting the March
and April Connections radio program to an exploration of what
each of us can do to preserve or restore world peace.
Did you attend the Expo and The Gathering of Women on March
8? If you missed out, you really missed out. Those we talked
to reported having a truly inspirational experience. The Whole
Life Network owes a debt of gratitude to all of our Expo
volunteers and supporters. There are too many names to list,
but we would be remiss if we failed to publicly thank David
and Tamara Hauze for the great music.
Elizabeth Roscoe, long a loyal member of our organization,
returned in January from a prolonged personal journey across
four countries on the African continent. Her experience has
motivated her to create a "people to people" program of
service entitled International Partnerships: African Network.
Further she has enlisted the help of The Whole Life Network to
administer her work. Please call Elizabeth (249-0397) to learn
how you can help.
In cooperation with the Soul Garden, the Friday Night Forum
speaker series is being reintroduced. With the Soul Garden as
host, we will invite the public to attend free programs
designed not only to enlighten and inform, but also to allow
members and neighbors a chance to visit socially. Look for the
"What, When, Where and How," in future Connections.

interview peace activists Anne Hill and Bill Duckworth about
the "Prospects of Peace."
Hoping to generate awareness concerning alternatives to
violence and war, the Whole Life Network will be dedicating
this month's program to the subject. Be sure to tune in to
KVNF's Midday Edition on April 24 at noon when the
"Connections" radio program will keep you connected with the
"Prospects of Peace."

All About Herbs: Demystifying Earth’s Gifts
Springtime in the Rockies
By Alan Joel
Just what we’ve all been waiting for, so let’s be healthy
to enjoy it! Allergies may be more of a threat in damper
climes, but some of us succumb, no matter. Here are some ideas
as to what may be the cause of our reactivities, and ways to
prevent them, plus what we can do in the thick of an acute
allergy attack.
Most allergies are caused by:
1.) Excess in the liver, gall bladder, or colon as too much
congestion from accumulation of waste products, undigested
proteins, starches, and fats either in the blood or in the
colon and small intestine, or blood that is toxic, unhealthy,
or stagnant from the effects of our eating habits and limited
exercise over the long winter months.
2.) Deficiency of our organs of assimilation: spleen,
stomach, small intestines, and kidneys that can be caused by
what we eat and how we eat, as well as generalized loss of
energy and life force as we deal with stress in our lives and
less Sunlight, less Joy, and less Appreciation of the gift of
life, even in troublesome times.
Here are some simple, at home techniques and easy to get
products that anyone can do for either of these
categories.
As an alternative to taking aspirin everyday for thinning
our blood, whether as a spring tonic or for routine prevention
of strokes and heart problems, there is an Edgar Cayce herbal
formulation known as formula 545, that is very capable, tasty,
and having many other benefits as well. One to two teaspoons a
day, and it’s quick and easy.
Another Cayce remedy, Glycothymolene, appearing much like
an old-fashioned mouth wash, has so many health benefits, I
can’t list them all. This serves as a preventative and a first
aid application remedy. One of my favorite ways to use it:
fill an atomizer or nasal spray applicator that has been
cleaned out, with full strength Glyco, and spray it into the
nasal passages liberally, while snorting inward. Also spraying
down the throat, while inhaling vigorously, which can both be
done many times a day, as often as needed, and will not become
habit forming like medicated nose drops. In fact, this has
proven to be highly effective in “un-hooking” people from such
attachments to nasal sprays. Through the use of Glycothymolene
in these ways, the lungs are cleared and moistened, excess
mucus is transformed, which open the breathing passages, and
the sinuses are cleaned and revitalized. For smaller children,
we can dilute with equal parts spring water, and that half and
half solution works well as eye drops for swollen and itchy
eyes, or dry and scratchy eyes.
One other procedure for this month’s article is the use of
casteroil packs, also in the Cayce tradition, as an external
cleansing and rebuilding process for any of the vital organs
of the body. Particularly effective when done on the liver,
gall bladder, stomach, colon, or kidneys, this home healthcare
method when done properly in amazingly effective in clearing
toxins, pollutants, stagnant blood, tumors and cysts, just to
mention a few benefits.
For information of how to do the casteroil packs or how to
order these products, when not readily available at your local
health food stores, email us at http://wholelifenet.org/newsletters/info@prosperity-abounds.com.

Ridgway Integrative Medicine
Joints
By Tracy Kurek, PAC
Our joints take a beating every minute of every day. How do
we keep them healthy to support us so we can do all the things
we want to?
Diet is probably the most important; including avoiding
sugar, corn, wheat, caffeine, pop and junk food. All these are
toxic to our bodies and create inflammation which can lead to
deterioration of bone, synovial fluid (which lubricates our
joints) and discs.
Things to do to avoid the inflammatory process include
eating lots of fruits and vegetables - a total of nine
servings a day with each serving measuring one-half to one
cup. You may say, "The that's all I will be eating!" That's
the idea!
Essential fatty acids such as EPA, DHA and GLA are great
anti-inflammatory agents. These are found in fish -
particularly cold, non-farm raised, salmon, tuna, halibut and
mackerel - and nuts and seeds such as almonds, pecans, walnuts
and cashews.
Drink lots of water to flush out toxins - about 3-5 liters
a day of purified water, with a fresh slice of lemon to add
taste if you choose. Also drink green tea, which has
anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, and tastes
yummy!
Exercise is also good, depending on your current condition
- if in doubt, check with your doctor. Walking 30 minutes a
day 5-6 days a week to get the heart rate up to 120 beats per
minute is a good goal. Remember that sweating is good! Bicycle
riding, swimming, tennis, hiking, aerobics classes and
cross-country skiing are other great activities.
After you exercise, stretching is mandatory to keep the
joints limber. If the muscles, tendons and ligaments don't get
stretched out they can pull on the joints in the wrong
fashion, causing pain and discomfort. If you do not know how
to stretch you may want to attend a yoga class or see a
certified Pilate’s instructor, they are trained to help people
stretch properly.
Most importantly, Have Fun! Taking care of our bodies can
be so fun and the benefits are amazing.

Chiropractic Adjustments For Companion Animals
Morningstar Veterinary Clinic Release
Aches and pains may be part of the natural aging process,
but we want to keep our companion animals as comfortable as
possible. The application of veterinary chiropractic care is
most commonly considered for patients with muscle-skeletal
problems, especially those individuals with back and neck
pain. In addition to relieving pain, chiropractic adjustment
enables the patient’s whole body to return to normal activity.
The idea that veterinary chiropractors are "putting bones back
into place" is not entirely accurate. Modern chiropractic
research shows that, following an adjustment, a variety of
changes occur in the patient’s body: manipulated joint(s)
returns to normal motion, and both blood flow and nervous
conduction increase in the affected area, reducing
inflammation and pain and normalizing function. Not only are
the muscle-skeletal structures in the area of the subluxation
affected by the resulting impedance of the blood flow and
nerve conduction, but the structures "down stream" from the
problem area can also be impacted. An example of this is
sciatica* irritation of the sciatic nerve manifesting as
numbness, weakness, and/or pain radiating down the leg. The
common causes of sciatica are found in the spine (not the
leg), and once the spinal problems are corrected the symptoms
in the leg subside.
While problems with the muscle-skeletal system are the most
common maladies treated by chiropractic, disease within the
internal organs can also benefit from treatment. Problems
ranging from seizures to vomiting have successfully treated
with chiropractic adjustment.
Case History: *Buffy* Smith
Buffy is a 14-year-old
neutered male Lhasa Apso. Like many older pets, he
occasionally suffers with muscle-skeletal pain. When Buffy was
2 * years old, he was involved in a motor home accident,
fracturing the portion of his pelvis involving the left hip
joint. Buffy*s pelvis was also luxated from the sacrum. After
a few weeks the little Lhasa recovered well from his injuries,
though he subsequently developed arthritis in the injured
hip.
Shortly after his seventh birthday, Buffy had several
episodes of back pain caused by degenerating discs in his
spine. Unfortunately these painful episodes continued to
recur. In June of 2002, Buffy was seen for his first
chiropractic evaluation and treatment. He responded well to
his adjustments and home massages. Buffy’s owner has become
well acquainted with the areas that get sore and tight, and
when he starts to get uncomfortable, she’ll massage him, often
relieving his discomfort and avoiding a trip to the vet.
At Christmastime, Buffy starting scooting on his haunches
and acting uncomfortable. His anal sacs were infected and
subsequently treated, but his scooting persisted. After
correcting a sacral subluxation through chiropractic, the
discomfort and scooting subsided.

Health In The Stars
Part III-Health Problems Shown by the Moon in the
Astrological Natal Chart
By Laurel Ann de Pontbriand
The fire signs, ARIES, LEO,SAGITTARIUS are the least
fertile. The moon in Leo is particularly apt to be slow to get
pregnant. If this moon sign in Leo is afflicted in the 5th
house of children, it shows the woman unlikely to have
children at all.
The water signs, CANCER, SCORPIO AND PICES, are the most
fertile. A water sun and moon combination can practically get
pregnant by seeing a cute baby. Without birth control, any
well-aspected moon can produce a full house.
Earth signs, TAURUS, VIRGO AND CAPRICORN, are the next most
fertile.
Air signs, GEMINI, LIBRA AND AQUARIUS come in third.
There is also another point to be mentioned. All moon
positions partake of the cross-that is, all cardinal moons,
ARIES, CANCER, LIBRA, CAPRICORN, can produce any of the
cardinal type problems. An Aries Moon can also have Capricorn
bone and joint problems for example.
The fixed moons,
TAURUS, LEO, SCORPIO, AQUARIUS can partake of other fixed sign
problems. The Taurus Moon for example can also have Leo heart
problems, Scorpio sex problems or Aquarius circulatory
problems.
The mutable signs GEMINI, VIRGO, SAGITTARIUS, PICES all are
prone to multiple illnesses. The Gemini moon prone to lung
problems can also have Virgo intestinal problems, Sagittarius
hip displacement or Pices sore feet.
ARIES moons point to migraine headaches (usually caused by
certain types of food intolerance) and sinus troubles. There
can be difficulties with the mouth and tongue, and if the
individual smokes or uses snuff, an afflicted Aries moon can
produce very nasty results as well as constant pain and a
postnasal drip. There is usually lactose intolerance and if
the moon is afflicted, (negatively aspected), a child may have
to switch to soy or goat milk. Fevers can be quite high. All
types of dental problems and jaw infections come under
Aries.

What on Earth can we do?
Western Slope Women's Wisdom Counsel
By Heidi Comstock
Women respond to stress differently than men do.
Fortunately, we have each other.
As Laura Cousino Klein, PhD, explains, "fight or flight" is
an ancient survival mechanism left over from the time when we
were chased across the planet by saber-toothed tigers. Now the
researchers suspect that women have a larger behavioral
repertoire than just "fight or flight."
In fact, Dr. Klein says it seems that when the hormone
oxytocin is released as part of the stress response in a
woman, it buffers the "fight or flight" response and
encourages her to tend children and gather with other women
instead. When she actually engages in this tending or
befriending, studies suggest that more oxytocin is released,
which further counters stress and produces a calming
effect.
Again, this is not about women versus men; it is about
women giving their all to restoring balance. We are so far off
balance now, this is the midnight hour, and the stakes are so
high, that it will take a significant shot in the arm at first
to infuse the system with a pendulum momentum swinging back in
the right direction. A billion hearts focused on the same
thing at the same time will put a ripple in the pond.
That is why the Gather The Women web site is so popular.
The ability to streamline communications and keep each other
"in the loop" on issues of sustainable lifestyles, economic
and political issues would launch an incredibly powerful
movement - one that might become a prototype of sorts for
measurable action around the State and United States.
I already have a list of names of Ridgway women leaders,
business owners, and managers. Women lead the majority of
businesses in Ridgway (YES!); this is also true, I believe,
for Telluride and Ouray. I have access to contact information
for most Western Slope towns. We could pretty easily request a
list of community women leaders.
I think the more esoteric, metaphysical, "spiritual part"
would naturally evolve as special foci sub-groups naturally
find each other and form through the master list. Besides,
regardless of political or faith preferences, we all share in
common that feminine perspective of looking at things - to
varying degrees.
There would also come from these lists natural "matches" of
women - per task or relationship. Regardless, all would be
better able to stay in touch with Western Slope "feminine
thinking / women allies" if they all ended up with the master
list.
It is exciting to see what would grow from doing something
as seemingly simple as streamlining the communication
routes!
The sheer numbers on the list are bound to be inspiring
-Young women may feel more empowered and confident to get
involved in careers of leadership. Our country and planet
needs this! Female political leaders may also feel more
confident about speaking up. There is strength in numbers;
let’s see those numbers, let's put them out there on the
table!

The Ancient Cosmic Science of Mayan
Fourth and concluding article following a series of
three
By Ronald N. Quinn
Actually, it is doubtful that anyone in Mayan's day or
since, has fully comprehended the vastness, the full meaning
and value of this science; which encompasses cosmic wisdom.
Mayan himself, has portrayed in his writings that it would be
many millenniums before humankind would be ready and able to
understand and utilize the full glory and power of this
spiritual science.
The full comprehension of Mayan's science is the
comprehension of Primal Source, itself, and the manifestation
of creation at all levels of experiential reality. This
includes both micro and macro worlds. This includes every
quality of life, biology, and experience.
This comprehension allows us, humbly, and wisely, to
produce and re-produce any and every universal quality, at
will, as desired. This empowers us, individually to become a
conscious creator, like unto the cosmic creator. Mayan was
honored in his day as being such a creator.
In this kind of creation, everything created is purposeful
and meaningful, and magnifies the quality, benefits, and
enjoyment of life for all beings.
This article will complete this series. The use of the
pyramid, octagon, circle, and other geometrical forms will be
briefly explained, including their positive inclusion with a
personal residence. Other principles will be
concluded.
------------
The octagon, circle, and many
other symmetrical forms are symbols of power and activity.
They may also serve a purpose in time and space travel. For
various reasons, they may be incorporated as extensions of a
residence, outside the Mother Wall. They may have specific
energy qualifications and add beauty to a structure. They also
have a special place for certain spiritual structures, as well
as many business applications: a theater or a shopping mall,
for instance, where continual activity is emphasized.
A circular or octagonal form for the Mother Wall of a home,
on the other hand, will promote continual activity and
probably restlessness. This form will not promote restful
sleep or provide the natural foundation for the primal birth
and conception of creativity.
Be careful of using these principles without sufficient
knowledge. The closer you come to terrestrial and celestial
vibrational alignment within your building structure, the more
powerful the potential of the enclosed energy becomes. A
pyramid home (not an arbitrarily designed one) which is
actually connected with terrestrial and celestial grid wave
lengths will generate such intense energy that radiation burns
may result (tissue/skin burns, from the inside-out),
especially if one should spend excessive amounts of time in
the sacred center of the structure. For this reason, a truly
empowered pyramidal form is not used for a residence, unless
an outlet is allowed at the peak for the release of excess
energy.
The physical organism must be fully adjusted to a dramatic
increase of natural, inner, nuclear energy radiation, or it
can be injured or destroyed in the process.
Please take note: that when Mayan says, "A living
architectural structure is a subtle 'micro universe' and a
subtle 'macro atom';" he is not merely speaking figuratively.
Such a structure actually radiates these qualities. The energy
inherent within this structure matches that of the living
cell, the vibrant atom, a planet, a human being, a star, or a
galaxy.
This energy structure is minute, cosmic and universal, and
mirrors the infinite potential of the universal power
grid.
The nucleus of this vibrant structure must always be left
unblocked so that the energy may flow unhindered. It will,
literally, radiate pure creative energy vibrations from within
its center, outwardly; much like the natural radiations from
within the center of the living human form or from within the
center of an atomic particle. These are basically
electromagnetic vibrations and radiate on both subtle
orsoul/spirit, and physical/biological levels.
Music is also electrical and magnetic. Every note radiates
both light/color and geometrical qualities. Sacred
Architecture is truly an expression of musical composition.
Designing with this science brings forth the latent joy,
enthusiasm and creativity from the heart, for those fully
trained and dedicated. Its potential for expression is as
variable and infinite as is musical composition; and when
clearly understood is just as crucial, purposeful and powerful
in its expressions of harmony or disharmony.
Every design, circular, six-sided, eight-sided,
twelve-sided, etc. is still laid out in its original
blueprint, by utilizing the precise, musical, modular
foundation of the 8 X 8 X 8 or 9 X 9 X 9 luminescent cube. It
is of vital importance that these individual modules be
correctly divided, just as in music. An improperly divided or
fragmented module is called a "mutilated note" in sacred
architecture.
Note: there are mathematical modular formulas other than
the 8 X 8 X 8 and 9 X 9 X 9. These should only be utilized
when correctly understood.
Every geometrical form is uniquely purposeful and should be
used with positive intent and full understanding of the
purposes and qualities of the proposed, living form. Mayan
says that a temple structure is the veritable form of God and
a residence the living form of a Human being. Every living
structure contains all of the marmas or vital energy points,
chakras and electrical life potential of the human form, of
the spirit and of the soul.
A vibrationally "dead" structure is one which is not
vibrationally connected and aligned with the biological,
terrestrial, and celestial power grid systems. The universal
principle of life is generated through grammatical and musical
harmony and continues to exist through the multi-frequency,
inter-connectedness of LIFE. A vibrationally "dead structure"
has just that effect upon its inhabitants, environment, etc.:
the vibrational effect of death.
Most building designs, today, literally "take the name of
God (Creator), in vain", and human beings and the planetary
environment suffer accordingly.
Do you remember that earlier I said that Pulse is the
primal or first cause and all pervading energy of universal
manifestation? In Mayan's science this cosmic pulse, like the
heartbeat of universal life, is the primary ingredient in all
divine and subsequently, human creativity. Thus, cosmic timing
is also a primary ingredient in the conception and birth of a
new building structure. These creative pulses also relate to
specific terrestrial, galactic and universal light rays; and
to minor and major galactic cycles of undulating energy
waves.
In addition, each new building or creation is consciously
conceived, celebrated and honored as though it were a new
infant, or eternal spirit, itself, thus born and welcomed into
physical life with love and honor.
There is much, much more to be considered in this great
science. Special attention is paid to the qualities of Gaia's
magnetic grid in each location. Earth is highly honored in
every step of planning and construction; as is, indeed, every
life form.
Integral to sacred architecture are these considerations:
1. Pulse or cosmic timing; 2. Specific geometrical form;
3.
Mathematical dimensioning; 4. Symmetry and beauty; 5.
Alignment with the terrestrial and cosmic grids; 6. Chakras
and energy points intact, and each part in harmony with and
mirroring the whole structure; 7. Adequately and effectively
serving the purpose for which it is conceived; 8. Serving as a
symbiotic vehicle for spirit, soul and body. Providing restful
ambience, and quiescent, dynamic potential. This is the effect
of the luminescent, musical cube; 9. Alignment with the
personal vibrational energies of the relevant human residents;
10. The heart or nucleus of the house or other building
structure must be maintained and kept clear in its integrity.
No walls or beams, etc. shall incorrectly block this sacred
center. Dr. Ganapati Sthapati's vast experience reveals that
when the house structure is blocked in its heart qualities,
this becomes a primary cause of broken hearts; difficult,
quarrelsome and broken relationships; unexplainable anger,
depression, and distress, etc. This heart connection within
the home especially strikes at the "heart" of the woman of the
house. I know of some fascinating true stories, minor
"miracles", in this connection, that have been experienced
when the heart of the house has been revived or re-created. I
have related a few of these in the pages of my forthcoming
book, THE PHYSICS OF LOVE, (scheduled to be completed in
2003).
Planetary stewardship requires an holistic view and
interaction with all aspects of life. Architecture, including
both urban and rural planning plays a central role because of
its major impact on both human and terrestrial
environments.
God is Love and Physics. The Science of Creation is the
"Physics of Love." Man, Earth and Stars, alike, shall vibrate
in Musical Harmony. The science of Vaastu-- is like an ocean:
To plunge in and swim is the only way to explore and
comprehend its cosmic depths.
All manifestation of Spirit is spontaneous, orderly,
rhythmic, pleasing to behold, and in harmony with itself. As
humankind learns to merge his/her own creations with spirit,
all of the qualities of spirit will be naturally, and
wonderfully attained and experienced.
The secret of re-creating heaven on earth through built
environments lies within the comprehension of the secrets of
natural creation all around us and within our own bodies,
minds, emotions, and souls. The manifestation of God is the
physics of love. The clear comprehension of the mathematics of
resonant harmony allows cosmic manifestation principles to be
re-created in all levels on earth.

Julia Marie Gillett/Craniosacral Therapy
Whole Life Network Release
“Imagine the moment in time just before you were conceived.
It’s as if a blueprint was laid out on a drawing board
detailing exactly how you were going to develop, which, of
course, you did. Over time, innumerable life experiences have
occurred and now the original draft of you has possibly become
obscured. Craniosacral Therapy assists you in making contact
with your original blueprint, helping your system to remember
what it looked like way back there on the drawing board. This
way of remembering the original you allows everything that is
not really you to simply drop away of it’s own accord.” This
is the essence of Craniosacral Therapy as described by Julia
Marie Gillett, a practitioner of this gentle healing art.
Julia Marie said people are under even more stress than
usual due to the current world situation: “Our ability to
impact foreign relations is limited but our ability to bring
ourselves into balance is quite vast.”
A Craniosacral Therapy session with Julia Marie begins with
looking for what is right with you instead of what is wrong
with you and that alone seems to provide a sense of safety,
along with an invitation to the body to give up some of it’s
long held tension. In her skilled hands you are apt to
experience long forgotten parts of yourself, as if hidden
pieces of your life’s puzzle suddenly reappear and fall into
place. The word complete comes to mind.
Since some of us need a little assistance in finding
balance during times like these, Julia Marie has decided to
bring Craniosacral Therapy to the people of the Uncompahgre
Valley. She recently opened an office in Montrose at 307 East
Main Street. Because the need for healing is so great right
now she is offering her services to Whole Life Network members
on a donation basis until May 30, 2003. Her usual fee is $55
per hour, so, members, don’t miss this opportunity.
Julia Marie may be contacted at 970-318-0074 to schedule
appointments.
[Julia Marie will be part of the Grand Opening celebration
which includes the Whole Life Network Saturday, April 12 from
1-4 p.m. at 307 E. Main St., Montrose.]
