Family Systems Constellation, with Rachelle

Rachelle Hill

I have been to Rachelle’s workshops and I think you’re in for a treat. She has one coming up, and offers other services as well – check out her website for more info! Here’s her explanation of the process:

Family Constellations has an extraordinary capacity to clarify hidden forces that may be entangling you in the here and now. We work with a whole picture of the individual as part of a larger set of systems – family, community, ethnic group and so on.

People come from very different starting points to family constellation workshops. Maybe you are struggling in your relationship, in your family, or with your children. You might feel something is holding you back from living the life you want. Perhaps your work is challenging you or you have fears of not being enough.

Constellation work is often the catalyst for the shifting of deeply held loss, trauma or resentments. This powerful therapy is capable of creating a deep and lasting resolution.

Event cost: $40.00

The path of our dancing dream…

“Everything is interim. Everything is a path or a preparation for the next thing, and we never know what the next thing is. Life is like that, of course, twisty and surprising. But life with God is like that exponentially. We can dig in, make plans, write in stone, pretend we’re not listening, but the voice of God has a way of being heard.

“It seeps in like smoke or vapor even when we’ve barred the door against any last-minute changes, and it moves us to different countries and different emotional territories and different ways of living. It keeps us moving and dancing and watching, and never lets us drop down into a life set on cruise control or a life ruled by remote control.

“Life with God is a dancing dream, full of flashes and last-minute exits and generally all the things we’ve said we’ll never do. And with the surprises comes great hope.”

Salt Spring Island: Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master Class (July 6-8)

Take a Reiki vacation on beautiful Salt Spring Island and deepen your Reiki practice July 6-8, 2018 with Canadian Reiki Association Registered Teacher, Kelly Kiss.

Kelly Kiss, reiki teacher

Kelly Kiss

Salt Spring Island is magical and highly spiritual! The perfect place to do your Reiki Master Training. Give yourself the gift of time away from life’s responsibilites to focus on your own self healing and inner reflection. This Reiki Master class is from the Holy Fire system of Reiki as taught by one of my teachers, William Rand and the International Center for Reiki Training.

The Holy Fire energy is highly transformative and very powerful. Even though you will learn how to initiate others into Reiki during this Reiki Master class, the main focus is on self healing. In the process of learning the healing techniques and placements, and taking part in the guided meditations, you will receive many healing experiences. In this three day Reiki Master class, you will be ignited to the Holy Fire energy and receive the ability to empower others into Reiki through what are now called placements, as well as to facilitate Holy Love Experiences. This class is also the most up-to-date Holy Fire energy (as currently taught through the International Center for Reiki Training), the upgraded version of Holy Fire II Reiki. (Read more)

Summer reading: Alexandra’s “The Onion Peeler”

This Victoria-based author has just released her first book – I’ve read it, and it’s a winner! Here’s more:

It’s 1976. This novel, set in small town British Columbia, takes us on a soulful search for true love, identity and purpose.

Journey with Sasha, a young hippie mom, and an ensemble of colourful characters, as they attempt to navigate a new path through evolving social norms and changing times. “A 1970’s romance with a spiritual twist.”

Hemma: Tantrik Bhakti Vinyasa with Brian James (June 28)

This workshop at Hemma will explore a tantrik approach to hatha yoga, integrating vinyasa and mantra as whole body prayer to the natural elements within and without. In addition to the classical surya namaskar, we’ll explore mandalas (circular vinyasa sequences) invoking the elements of earth, water, fire, air and moon (chandra namaskar). In addition, you’ll learn mantras to open and close your practice with intention and honouring of the ancestors.

Brian James has spent the past 20 years exploring the connection between yoga, music and shamanism, and over the past 7 years has devoted his life to making the ancient techniques of tantrik hatha yoga relevant and accessible to modern folks of all ages and physical ability. (Read more)

“How you think and feel creates your world,” with Hayley Clarke and Full Circle Bodyworks

Hayley Clarke

When you drop by Hayley Clarke‘s spot in InnerLife, in the Royal Oak Shopping Centre, you can tell something’s different.

Her approach to bodywork is more of blend of modalities & approaches, which you can explore on her profile on the Spirit of Victoria Directory, and her website posted there.

Here’s more, for her profile:

Hayley has developed unique treatment styles that infuse energy work techniques and therapeutic bodywork guided by her natural intuitive gifts. She treats on a physical level, working with the physiology of the muscle using gentle acupressure and massage technique to release muscle tension and pain.

As she treats on physical level feeling for areas of stress and muscle tension in your body, she also has the gift to “sense” or “see” what the underlying stress or blocks are that being held in the cellular memory of your body.

In a session these underlying stressors or blocks will surface when you’re ready to let go of them. When this happens Hayley “sees” or “senses” these stressors or blocks in the energy form of colour (emotions), objects, visions, vibration, feelings or words.

She uses energy balancing techniques to remove these blocks, relieving pain and creating space for flow and communication within your body-mind to heal. This space facilitates the growth for new neuropathways to form so you can create new positive thought patterns, shift your perception, live your life in alignment with your heart and discover personal growth that will benefit your body, mind and soul.

Each session is naturally tailored to meet your needs. Some of the techniques you may experience include Reiki, Shiatsu Massage, Reflexology, Cellular Regeneration Technique, Relaxation Massage, Energy Balancing, Colour and Chakra Balancing.

Nutrition: Soul Food: Spirituality and Nutrition, with Lisa Turner

It’s common in our culture to blend ideas about how we eat & what we eat with what our hearts might say about what we’re doing to grow, spiritually. Lisa Turner explores this in this essay for the Huffington Post:

Soul Food: Spirituality and Nutrition

By Lisa Turner
Years ago, I spent a lot of time in an ashram. One of my jobs (besides less-glamorous stuff like cleaning toilets) was to cook in the kitchens. It was lovely. The food was simple, clean, pure; most of our meals were composed primarily of beans, rice and vegetables, but they tasted like the fare of five-star restaurants. I am convinced it was the serenity and open-heartedness of the people cooking, the melodic chants we sang as we stirred. The spirituality of the place entered the food — or maybe, we became more spiritual because of it.

In a well-known quote from Consuming Passions: The Anthropology of Eating, authors Peter Farb and George Armelagos say, “Food to a large extent is what holds a society together, and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.”

Dinah

The last person I had a treatment from was Dinah Johnston…and it was great.

A session with Dinah is awesome! She’s amazing – more than relaxing, a session with her made me feel like I was descending into the warm part of my heart & spirit, with a lot of energy the rest of the day.

If you have a session with her, you’ll be glad you did! Check out her profile on the SOV Directory here!

Around town: Mar 5, 2018

Hoping your week is off to a good start, and that you’re smiling at the moments ahead. Let’s see what’s going on around Victoria:

• Still getting used to the idea that Full Circle is wrapping up 17 years in town, come April.

They had a successful Diva Day this past weekend, and have pretty much everything in the store for sale…drop by!

• Last weekend’s two-day Westshore Wellness Mind, Body & Spirit Fair created a warm & welcoming atmosphere for over 400 visitors in Langford.

Erica & Dawn tried something different: Each day featured a different set of vendors & practitioners, so each day was like a completely different fair. They said they loved how it went, and expect to try it again, come September.

Welcome aboard, Jeanette!

• The newest member to join the Spirit of Victoria’s Directory is Jeanette Maher, offering Healing Touch sessions, as well as spiritual help and card readings.

Check her profile out here.

• You’ve wondered about it, now you have a chance to check it out!

Dr. Ariel Jones is offering a Water Fasting Retreat in April – here’s the scoop, from the SOV News.

• Last night (Sunday the 4th), Debra & Diana (here’s their Facebook page) offered a mediumship presentation to some 120 folks at the Legion Hall in Langford.

Diana & Debra

What does this look like? The duo sees/feels/hears spiritual energy and asks questions to ascertain with whom the spirit is looking to make contact. For a couple of hours, D&D kept people on the edge of their seats with disclosure after disclosure that was confirmed by the folks whose loved ones had come to visit.

Jason & Nicole

The evening reminded me of the two well-attended shows mediums Nicole Powell and Jason Goldsworthy put on at the Church of Truth in Victoria and in Cobble Hill in the past ten days. They identified passed love ones and people in both audiences & amazed the crowd with what they discovered.

We’re pretty lucky to have this sort of thing available to us in this area…I know I feel lucky to have seen all three shows!

Hope you catch the next one!

• Check back here…more in the next couple of days, my friend. what’s going on this week? Check out the SOV News & Events here!

Meet: Animal communicator Georgina Cyr!

You’ve always wondered…meet Georgina & find out more!

From her website (http://animal-communicator.com/):

What is Animal Communication?

Animal Communication is a psychic, intuitive and spiritual connection, a two-way telepathic communication or reading. I connect using these abilities long distance to help you with your animal friend.

Animal Communication is used to further our understanding of our animal companions and strengthen human-animal relationships. A communication with your animal companion can help solve behavior problems and help with health issues.

An animal communicator relays messages between you and your animal friend to help you both understand each other, work through behavioral problems. An animal communicator can perform a medical intuitive health scan to find physical discomfort or pain to help you and your animal friend, as well as your veterinarian, with health problems.

All people have the ability to communicate with animals; however, in some of us this skill is more developed. Anyone can learn to communicate with animals. All it takes is learning a few techniques and practice!

Thoughts: Kindness, yeah!

Here is my wish for you and every other child, woman, and man on the face of the earth: Spend one week saying only kind, caring things to yourself.

Say thank you at least ten times an hour, direct five toward yourself and five to the world at large.

Compliment yourself (and others) each time an effort is made.

Notice all the wonderful qualities and characteristics about yourself and those around you.

One week. You will never go back. And your whole life will be a glorious meditation.

Cheri Huber

Checking in with Eloise & Affirmative Healing

Eloise

A session with Eloise is a chance to begin the healing work you need. 

Here’s more from Eloise:

Every person has an energy body and a physical body. The physical includes the emotional. As a spiritual energy healer, I am able to see and work with the energy body. I work in the quantum field to heal the energy body and bring it into balance.

When the energy body comes into balance and alignment, the physical and emotional are healed. The wellspring for this work is love. The healings are a very spiritual experience.

I am also a medical intuitive, meaning I have the ability to see into the physical body of people and animals and observe its systems such as endocrine, respiratory, digestive and immune and to relate to you what I find in layman’s terms that are easily understood. I have experienced success in healing physical illness in some people.

Contact Eloise today!
