People You’ll Want to Know

Intuitive readings by D’Arcy – a good place to start!

If you’re looking for a reading with an experienced medium, check out D’Arcy’s profile today!

As she says:

“I have been seeing spirits since the age of three. I tried my best to ignore what I saw by running away from my gift, until I was 25.

“At 25, I recognized that I couldn’t run from what was in me. I can’t say that I accepted it 100%, instead I let it lie dormant, unused, until 1999, when I wasn’t given a choice but to accept or let it go. I always say God, or Universe made the final decision for me, I haven’t looked back since.”

Meet Max at Æon Health!

Max

When was the last time you had a bodywork or energetics session & left felt feeling so much better?

That’s how I felt after my first session with Max at AEON Health (that’s really Æon, to be precise. ) I like the way he explains what he does:

What Maximilian does as a Bioenergetic Practitioner in one sentence:
“I assess people’s energy fields to find the root causes for their health issues,
whether acute or chronic, and I correct these energetic imbalances,
so the mind, body and soul can heal themselves.”

My impression of the session I had?

My first session with Max at AEON exceeded my expectations – the scan found things that I expected it to (which was a great affirmation) and pointed to other areas that need attention, as well as confirming areas of my health that are all right. His review of all that was amazing – Max is very knowledgeable! – and the session to respond to what we found left me energized for the rest of the day.

I hope you get a chance to have a session – it’s great!

For you: Getting “About Me” just right….with George Kao

From Brother Ian:

One of the questions that comes up in my spiritual biz consultations may sound easy: “Can you help me write the ‘about me’ section of my website?”

This, like many things in life, is not only a task to be completed to shorten a long to-do list, but is also a way to learn more about yourself.

In a nutshell, I love the way George Kao guides you through this. Check out his easy-to-read, easy-to-use blog article here, and then…get it done!!!

George, by the way, is amazing. He is a Marketing Coach for small business owners, especially solopreneurs such as Coaches and Mentors. He focuses on ethical & effective ways to grow one’s platform and build true livelihood.

Healing: Traditional Chinese Medicine, with The Herbal Path

Many Westerners have a passing acquaintance with traditional Chinese medicine, but there may come a time when that curiosity will turn to a deeper inquiry…and I can’t think of a better place to begin than with The Herbal Path, in Oak Bay.

The clinic has been operating since 2003, and has a steady & devoted clientele of regular patients. When you visit there, you’ll meet mother-and-daughter team Vicky Chih and Annie Kung (left). I like the way they describe their experience and purpose on their posting on The Spirit of Victoria:

Wei-Chi (Vicky) Chih, owner and Chinese Medicine practitioner of The Herbal Path, speaks fluent English and has been a health consultant in Taiwan and Canada for almost two decades. She has helped hundreds of people to resolve disease, remove pain, lose weight, look younger and feel better.

She believes that THE KEY TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS is strengthening “the doctor within”- our body’s incredible and powerful immune system which can defend the body from most illness. She believes that “PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE” and will work with you to find your body’s weaknesses and build health.

Acupuncture is a system of complementary medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced in the West.

Annie Hui Kung is a Registered Acupuncturist & Registered TCM Herbalist – she completed her Traditional Chinese Medicine education and certifications in Victoria, Calgary and Vancouver, and has been practicing Acupuncture since 2009. Her areas of specialty include chronic/acute pain syndromes, digestive disorders, physical/mental relaxation and more. Annie also follows the principles of “Yang School” in her daily practice.

Annie’s goal is to help people regain health and happiness. She truly believes everything is connected, as it is the law of the universe. Human beings are a part of nature; therefore, we should eat, act and live our lives according to nature’s patterns in order to maintain the equilibrium. Annie’s mission is to spread the wisdom of TCM and to help educate others about how to find balance in their lives. This is a lifelong lesson!

A couple of years ago, Jack Etkin interviewed Vicky on Citizen’s Forum, drawing from his own experience of how it helped him after an accident – this is an easy, in-depth way to find out more about what awaits you, at The Herbal Path:

Biomagnetism, affirmed

Kathryn

It was neat to see the cool testimonial Kathryn Lowther got from a client after a distance session for biomagnetism:

When my husband talked about Biomagnetism for our son, I was not sure about what it was or how it could work. After all, Kathryn is on the west coast, and we are in Raleigh, NC, on the east coast, and the sessions were done remotely!

But once I understood the process and let Kathryn do her healing, the results were nothing short of exceptional. Our son, who has had inflamed cysts on his neck for most of his life, now does not have any traces of swelling in his neck, all is back to normal, after only 4 sessions with Kathryn. Prior to Biomagnetism, we had tried his pediatrician, naturopaths and chiropractors to no avail. We can’t thank Kathryn enough. Now both my husband and I are treating our respective health conditions.

Meet Amy Martyn!

Amy Martyn

It was great to discover that Amy is offering her services in Langford. I was lucky enough to have an energy healing session with her, and it was palpable, the difference that I felt the rest of the day, with both a decrease in pain and increase in energy to do things.

I hope people find out about what she offers & give her a try – you’ll be glad you did! Blessings & light to you, Amy! (from the reviews on Amy’s Facebook page)

From Amy:

My ultimate goal is to help others find pure inner happiness and evolve their soul.  Through the remarkable power of love, anxiety can be released, pain and suffering can be diminished and joy can exude from your being.

I thoroughly enjoy working with others who have an open & allowing mindset, as this is when the magic begins! Through communication, powerful techniques, and energy treatments we can discover your root cause of pain, disease & desires and work together to set intention for a blissful outcome.

Each person is meant to live a life filled with peace & joy and through working with your inner self you can find the courage to live the life you want, filled with unconditional love for living.  Your body is so intelligent and has the incredible power to heal itself.

I look forward to getting to know you and assisting in your next evolving stepping stone.

Book: “Belonging” with Toko-pa

It’s been out for over a year…and it’s great. Belonging won the prestigious 2017 Gold Nautilus Award for its contribution to the field of Personal Growth. It’s not only been selling well, it’s been changing lives. Here’s the link (get yours today!), and here’s a little about the author:

About Toko-pa:

Toko-pa was born on a farmhouse in Devon, England by a midwife to poet-parents. Because they liked the music saying it made, they named her after the Maori deity, Toko-pa, who is the “Parent of the Mist” according to the Maori creation myth.

Toko-pa

She came to Canada at the age of four, where her grandparents settled after the war in Poland, and was raised in a Sufi community in Montreal.

Along with yoga, meditation, Sufi dancing and singing, dreaming was an every day part of her culture.  From a very young age, Toko-pa was encouraged  to share and explore her vivid dreams.

In her early twenties Toko-pa toured with a band, eventually recording her first original album. It wasn’t until her mid-twenties that she returned to the mystical teachings of Sufism and the study of dreams. She became deeply interested in Analytical Psychology and did a 3 year internship at the Jung Foundation of Ontario, while pursuing her studies in spirituality, mythology and shamanism.

In early 2001, she was awarded a scholarship to study with psychophysiologist and lucid dreaming expert, Dr. Stephen LaBerge, in Hawa’ii. She spent the following year writing a documentary series, Awake and Dreaming, which was picked up for development by Vision TV.

Blending the mystical tradition of Sufism in which she was raised with a Jungian approach to dreamwork, Toko-pa founded the Dream School in 2001 from which hundreds of students have since graduated. Toko-pa has been interviewed by CNN News and BBC Radio and has a community of over 100,000 online readers. Her writing has been published worldwide, and she is currently releasing her first book Belonging, which explores the themes of exile, and the search for belonging.

Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa’s work focuses on restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, and facilitating grief and ritual practice. You can find Toko-pa on her website at toko-pa.com.

Workshop: Metaphysics of Pure Non-Duality ~ Course In Miracles ~ Julia Day (Sept 15)

Julia Day

A Course In Miracles …
is a transpersonal, psychological, radical teaching in pure non-dual Oneness that uses quantum ‘forgiveness’ to undo our dualistic split mind.
The Course guides us through a mystical journey of awakening
to the awareness of pure Love’s Presence.

The alchemy of awakening occurs through joining our thoughts and perceptions with our inner Teacher, Self, Source ~ and learning to trust our Wholeness and Oneness; the pure Goodness that remains unchanged throughout all our stories, through all worlds.

For information & to register, check my website at:https://www.juliaday.ca/juliaday-acim-pure-non-duality

I love helping people understand the simple METAPHYSICS of the Course, because it makes the entire holographic teaching much easier to digest.

Thoughts: Sitting with her, sitting with him, with Brené Brown

Gotta say I like this little bit of writing from Brené Brown:

“I’ve come to this belief that,
if you show me a woman who can sit with a man
in his real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it,
I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work
and, B, does not derive her power from that man.

“And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman
in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it,
but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it,
I’ll show you a guy who’s done his work
and a man who doesn’t derive his power
from controlling and fixing everything.”

~ Brené Brown

Astaria’s light shines bright…

A couple of weeks ago, Astaria Light (http://www.lightofsound.ca/) offered a cacao ceremony in Sooke which included the gift of her sacred sounds. My friend Stephanie Woods was there that night as part of the sold-out event – I asked her how it went, and how the evening felt. She told me she would like me to share her response with you:

Astaria Light

Nestled in blackberry and rose thickets, within a traditional style tipi, received from a First Nations tribe in the prairies, whose inside came alive with a warm fire and tender hearts, Astaria Light opened a sacred cacao ceremony, and the journey of a Sound of the Heart ignited.

The enchanting cacao bubbled to life as it was honoured in each person’s favourite mug and began to work magic with its aroma, alluring tenderness and soothing richness in spirit. Intentions of release and renewal echoed within the chambers of the tipi as sharing and honouring of each other’s journey was embraced.

Astaria’s timeless and galactic voice tickled the cacao to life within the veins, combining the sound of the elements, the rainbow of vibration-shifting instruments, with ethereal feminine beauty of voice, guiding the voyage to the internal planes within, into the deepest chambers of the heart.

The sound of the heart gently and powerfully encouraged the shutters to swing open, bringing in fresh vibrating breath, a joyous sigh of relief in reconnection, while letting out the stale and stagnant frequencies. Brought back down to earth by the surrounding chorus of birds and soft summer breezes, the glow of cacao remained in all.

What a heart-filled joy to experience the love of Astaria Light, her relationship to the sacred plant medicine of cacao, and most importantly the gift of the internal journey to the heart that was offered around a warm fire with tender hearts.

The answers within, with Teresa Cameron

Teresa Cameron

One of my favourite people in the world is Teresa Cameron, who is both a reader & teacher who opens to Pure Source as a beginning to the healing she offers. (You can find out more about her, here). She wrote this, which I think you might find of use, on your path:

All this searching, searching, searching and all of the answers are within each individual.

People on the spiritual (life) journey are searching for understanding, solutions, and the way….but it indeed is the act of STOPPING all of it, including the thoughts around Pure Consciousness because even our views of what it should be stop us from understanding what it indeed is.

The space of Pure Consciousness is absolutely fantastic because it is so apparent that all of the answers are within ourselves and everything is accessible from there. We just have to get out of our own way to be able to hear and understand it! We have to quit fighting what IS for what we want or expect life to be.

The community people are searching for is already here….the entire human race (and so much more) is that community….we are all connected and doing exactly what needs doing…and have been since the beginning of creation…we are progressing and growing even when it appears we are stuck or going backward or suffering the greatest.

As each person discovers the Pure Light within, the rest of the stories start falling away. It indeed is a beautiful dance, even (or maybe most especially) the struggles. The struggling is what opens the doors to growth and expansion if we choose to take it that way.

Many people are accepting that path …that is indeed the path of an awakening consciousness for the planet. More and more people are moving in that direct….some getting lost along the way (all part of the humanness) because more or deeper understanding is stripping the false ego away.

Any time we are not purely in the present moment we are in our ego (creating our stories, living in fear, justifying our point of view, fighting to be seen, heard or relevant). We are so very human and even when you KNOW all of this the false ego can slip in!!

All writings and teaching regarding the spiritual journey are filtered through someone else’s ego…..so we have to be aware not to grab hold of their STORY in our own search. I genuinely believe that, in itself, keeps us from reaching Pure Consciousness for ourselves.
We get fascinated with someone else’s journey/experience and strive for that experience for ourselves….but we are all unique, and my experience will never be like anyone else’s and so on.

But, people sharing their experiences, as purely as possible, allow others to understand that it is indeed possible (opening up to a space that has previously been inaccessible).
Once someone experiences healing, an awakening, deeper understanding it opens up the room for others to experience their own unique version of this expanded place.

We do go through levels or layers, and we can move around, slip back or be much stronger in one area over another….we tend to stay where we are the strongest when actually it is working with our weaknesses that produce real results.

The problem with this is that none of us like to see (or we can’t see) our own faults.

Our own weaknesses or faults are what we should be searching for.

In finding and working on our own weaknesses, we automatically strip the false ego away….leading to Pure Consciousness.

Look for your triggers and be willing to poke at the tender spots, will help you find those answer for yourself.

Then own it all!! Be OK with it all! Allow yourself to be human!

No one else can do this for you!!
And please remember TO HAVE FUN!!!!!

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
