Breaking The Cycle Of Trauma by Geri Habstritt
MANY are experiencing traumas being retriggered. It is easy to fall back into the cycle of pain but with awareness you can rise through it and end the cycle.
We are born into a 3D world that cycles through victim, rescuer and abuser; the drama triangle. We continue to cycle through this until we say “ENOUGH” and claim our truth. From here we move through the 4th and into the 5th dimension which is primarily serendipity and joy when you arrive near the top. Claiming your truth is where you exit victim consciousness. The challenge is the physical body is addicted to the adrenaline created by the drama/pain, thus it continues to create more pain. Even when you choose your truth....
  
Ghostbusting---An Unusual Profession by Badeish Lange
Here is a little background on why I am writing this article…..I personally learned how to release spirits and as a Psychic/Medium coming from a family of sensitives. I realized a long time ago that I did not want to offer ghostbusting as a part of my service! Ghostbusting is so much more than the average person knows. Many people go to haunted attractions and don’t realize how dangerous this can be. I lived unknowingly in a new constructed home that was on sacred Indian land. Someday, I will share with you what it was like living with many good and challenging spirits in my home in Woodland Hills, California. This track of 300 homes was featured on a TV show....
  
A Meth User Helped Me Walk in Presence! by Janet Little
A methamphetamine user triggered one of my best lessons in walking in Presence. I did not like her one bit. It was in a substance abuse disorder (SUD) treatment program, that grueling, yet magical place somewhere between hell and heaven where treatment staff holds the space of respect and vision and a helping hand to help substance abusers—the correct term for addicts and alcoholics—pull themselves out of the muck and learn how to live. The “learn how to live” bit is one place the magic lies.
Magic happens in treatment programs.
In a good outpatient treatment program clients (patients) learn what keeps them repeating unhealthy choices. That means facing....
  
Cherie’s Story: A Journey from Darkness to Light by Elizabeth Talboy
In 2021, Cherie’s world was turned upside down when she suffered a grand mal seizure. She describes that moment as a time when she felt her light had been completely extinguished. It was then that she discovered her brain tumor, which had been previously operated on, had returned—this time, larger and more threatening than ever.
Cherie bravely began chemotherapy, determined to fight the tumor. However, by April 2022, after nearly nine months of grueling treatment, her body could no longer endure the harsh effects of chemotherapy. It was during....

We Are All Lightworkers Rising by Geneva Stevahn Hill
Did you have an awakening experience that caused you to fundamentally change everything you knew to be true about yourself and the world?
Yeah, friend, me too.
It’s bananas though, because that wasn’t really the hard part for me.
The tricky part was in the follow-up questions, “what happens now?”
I mean, I knew immediately that I had a much bigger purpose, calling, mission, and role on this planet. I suddenly understood that I mattered. I was important.
I just didn’t understand how to reconcile that with any type of action or solution.
  
Inner Child Work in Hypnotherapy by Arlene Thompson
First of all, what is hypnosis? Hypnosis is a way to relax your conscious, rational mind, so that you can gain access to your subconscious. It’s basically an alpha or theta brainwave state.
When you’re in that relaxed trance state, we can put positive suggestions into it (post-hypnotic suggestions) or release negative beliefs out of it. The main vehicle I use to help clients release negative stuff out of the subconscious is inner-child work.
Inner-child work is not primarily about childhood. It’s more about the false beliefs, negative messages, and limiting ideas you may have ....
  
From Field to Table: Understanding Italian and American Flour Differences by Coquille (Coco) Wilson
We have recently embarked upon teaching people to cook here at Divine Wholism. Sourdough has become a big component, but you may have heard me say no grain, so, what’s up with that? We use only flour from Italy.
Some of you may have even experienced a trip to Europe where bread is unavoidable (who cares on vacation anyway…when in Rome!). You didn’t feel bad there, eating their bread, but when you got home and had that first sandwich from your local store or bakery, you were gut sick. Here’s why that happens, and why the flour matters.
Italian flour is often favored for its perceived health benefits....
  
The Key to Unlocking the Door of Forgiveness by Christine Haggerty
Scientific data has shown that consistent meditation practices are beneficial to our overall health and wellbeing. Regardless of whether we have been meditating for years, or are just beginning, the data shows that meditation significantly reduces stress and anxiety and increases levels of happiness, calmness and coping skills. (According to the Pranic Healing Research Institute; PHRI)
The focus of this study was on Twin Hearts Meditation, which is based on the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi: Lord Make me an Instrument of your Peace. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

Eating the Frog in Spiritual Living by Geneva Stevahn Hill
Have you ever heard the saying, “Eat the frog?”
This phrase comes from the motivational space and is a productivity tool for overcoming procrastination. The theory is that if you have one job, and that job is to eat a frog, even though you don’t want to do it, getting it out of the way first thing in the morning is arguably better than having it loom over your head all day long and still have to do it before bed.
Okay, but Geneva, what does this have to do with spirituality?
Well, since the spiritual realm is simply a reflection of this physical world (as above so below) you could venture a guess that just about....
  
Black Tourmaline - Oh How We Love It! by Brenda Francis
Black Tourmaline is well-known for its energy cleansing and purification properties. In its natural form, it resembles a beautiful log and appears similar to petrified wood; also, it is slightly heavier in weight than many other crystals. A common use for black tourmaline is to clear houses/buildings of negative or old energy, even up to and including spirits that one wishes to have move out of the space. Putting sea salt in corners and doorways and smudging with sage and palo santo are other common ways this is done as well. To work on purifying oneself, it can be beneficial too! Self purification can be a way to let go of worries and resentments which in turn....
  
Correlation of Nutrition and Mental Health by Coquille (Coco) Wilson
There is no denying that there is an epidemic of mental health disorders in our society today. Do you know what nation has the highest prevalence of mental health? Some may be surprised to hear it is Iran, Australia, and New Zealand with instances being the lowest in Japan, Viet Nam, and Brunei. This is interesting because these are lands where seafood is a prevalent part of the diet, often with fermented products like kimchi, tofu paste, fish sauce, etc. being accompaniments to many dishes. They also have a low consumption rate of wheat and sugar in comparison to many countries. Why should this matter? Because the items they are eating regularly not only nourish their metabolic/hormone endocrine feedback loop, but....

In the world of gardening, where each plant begins its journey as a tiny seed full of promise, there’s a crucial yet often overlooked step that can significantly impact the outcome of our efforts: seed nourishment.

Biophotons and Consciousness: Connecting Body, Mind, and Spirit by Elizabeth Talboy
In the quest to understand the profound connections between our physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening, biophotons emerge as a fascinating frontier. These tiny particles of light, emitted by the cells of our bodies, might hold the key to understanding how our physical state is intertwined with our consciousness. This article explores the potential link between biophotons, consciousness, and spiritual awakening, shedding light on how this emerging science could revolutionize our approach to holistic health.
  
Navigating the Spiritual Awakening: From Isolation to Illumination by Geneva Stevahn Hill
Is there a defining “before and after” moment in your life? Like you were one person before this *thing* occurred, and an entirely different person afterward?
I do.
In 2012, I was suffering from battle fatigue of sorts with my own spirituality story. I was frustrated, exhausted, and admittedly, a little bit manic. I looked up at the sky, and said, “God, if you’re real, just f*$#ing SHOW yourself!”
I did not expect the sky to open up. I did not anticipate viewing through a part of the veil and witnessing the exquisite beauty on the other side.
  
The Magnificent Benefits of Healing Thru Cleansing by David DeHaas
It was 1963, I was 5 years old, and my grandparent took be to the peach orchard in Whitebird, Idaho. I got to ride on a small trailer pulled behind a 1953 ford tractor that also carried bushel baskets for peaches. I was so excited to ride that little trailer, it was such an adventure as a little guy. But it was nothing compared to the first bite of a fully ripe peach off the tree, it was like getting candy for Christmas. You couldn’t just eat one. As the peach juice dribbled off my lips and onto my shirt and pants the taste buds in my mouth were in heaven dancing with the joy of that delectable treat.

Are you ready to break through anxiety, stress, anger, low energy, mental fog, and anything else that is robbing you of your joy and being in a state of ease, flow, and harmony?

A State of Synesthesia by Badeish Lange
Synesthesia is a powerful word meaning “sensory/soul-sense effect” in which…one sense stimulates and activates other soul senses.
Our soul senses sometimes are referred to as ‘Gifts’ but the truth is they are natural abilities and when used appropriately, the soul senses are truly then considered a Gift.
State of Synesthesia: A transcendent meditation/visualization or state of hypnosis which can alter people’s personalities long-term, creating new experiences with a deeper appreciation of Spirit, magnify their curiosity along with heightening their empathic abilities.
 
  
Removing Trauma Through Generational Healing by Christine Haggarty
While working with a client to help remove depression, I noticed that she had several cords that needed to be removed and several chakras that were blocked. After working with her for about an hour, she began to tell me about past trauma. She also informed me that her sister could also use my help. So, I contacted her sister and we set up an energy healing session. After the session, the sister mentioned that her oldest son needed help. So, I performed a remote energy session with him. Then I was asked if I could do an energy healing on a brother. So, I did. After the session with the brother, he asked if I could help his younger brother and a cousin. Finally, the mother came to me and requested a session for herself.

Surfing the Cosmic Wave by Jessica Allison
There are two types of eclipses, solar and lunar unless you count the total eclipse of the heart as the third type… 80s music fans out there, you get me. Think of eclipses as a couple where opposites attract. They always come in pairs of zodiac signs that are opposite each other and they always come in with a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. The first eclipse season of 2024 began with a lunar eclipse on March 25th in the sign of Libra. Then, two weeks later on April 8th, we will have a solar eclipse in Aries. During this eclipse season Mercury will also be retrograde. This makes April quite a cosmic ride through the energy of eclipses and a retrograde!
  
The Astonishing World of Structured Water by Jen Diillon
What is Structured Water?
You probably remember learning about the three phases of water in school – solid (ice), liquid, and gas (steam). But there is also a fourth phase of water that was introduced by Gerald Pollack. This fourth phase of water is different from the liquid water we drink, it’s known as Liquid Crystalline, Living, or Structured Water. Structured water is created when water molecules are arranged a specific way forming a crystalline structure. This unique arrangement of molecules allows the water to carry and transfer energy. This type of water is known to offer an amazing amount of health benefits.
  
Illuminating Health: Overcoming Celiac’s Disease with Biophoton Sessions by Elizabeth Talboy
In the realm of holistic health, the journey of healing is often as personal as it is profound. This is particularly true for those who have navigated the challenging waters of Celiac’s Disease, a condition that affects the digestive system and can lead to severe symptoms and complications when gluten is consumed. It was my own experience with Celiac’s Disease that led to the discovery of Biophoton Therapy—a light-based treatment that has shown remarkable potential in addressing not just the symptoms, but the root causes of health issues.

Drinking a Legacy by Jessica Allison
Warm beaches, white sandy coves, clear blue waters, lush rainforest, coconut plantations, coral reef bays, Hibiscus flowers, very few roads, and volcanoes; take a moment here and sense this peaceful island. Can you feel it, see it, or hear it? This is the island of Vanuatu, a South Pacific Island that was once a tiny part of ancient Australia around 100 million years ago and is the ancestral home of Kava. First settled about 3,000 years ago, the Vanuatu Islands were inhabited by people of the Lapita culture, a Neolithic Austronesian people. They are the ancestors of the peoples of Polynesia, Micronesia, Island Melanesia, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and across the Pacific Islands.
  
It is Time to Forgive Yourself by Christine Haggerty
In order to continue advancing along your spiritual path, one must forgive themselves. A person can study all their lives, attend retreats, travel the world seeking the highest truths and wisdoms available. A person can keep taking classes, courses, and read an entire library of books on spiritual development and how to reach Nirvana, yet without self-forgiveness, they will only advance so far. This is the Law of Energy.
Often, when people are trying to improve their life and decide to make substantial changes to move forward along their journey, they discover that forgiving....

Scott was one of the few medical professionals prescribing Ivermectin throughout the COVID Pandemic. Scott met a local, natural product formulator, who had just moved to Sandpoint, Idaho from Canada. She shared her work with Scott and asked if he would be open to run a trial or case study..
  
Hypnosis and the Power of Your Subconscious Mind ~ Part I by Badeish Lange
This is an important subject that has been misunderstood by many cross sections of our culture. Let’s start with what Hypnosis is not! Here we find fear based perceptions because of feelings of losing self-control and the long list of other misconceptions. These falsehoods date back years in the more traditional religious teachings and still exist today; additionally, some people are afraid of hypnosis because of misinformation acquired from movies, novels, or television.
Hypnosis is a soulful process and like anything in life can be flipped into a misuse. Example: When you take Hypnosis out of its clinical/healing application and used as entertainment, then there are....

Simple Rules To Live By
Today I want to talk about some Simple Rules To Live By. This time of year, resolutions seem to be a hot topic. While making resolutions that, by historical statistics, we will most likely break within a month or two (or even sooner!) may be the cultural thing to do, it is not really a lot of help in the long run. That is a topic for another day and besides, you all know all about this already having lived through it again and again and again. Maybe just perusing some ‘Good Rules to Live By’, praising yourself for the ones you already have in your life and taking a stab at one or two of them that are new and appealing at various times during the year would, in the long run, be less....

4 Ways to Shift Your Mindset to Be Happier With Yourself & Enjoy Life More by Sydney Sage
Having a more positive mindset doesn’t mean always being happy, it can even just be a sense of believing in ourselves; of trusting ourselves; of feeling like we can navigate what comes our way.
Of course, it’s not possible to be happy all the time, but life is MUCH easier when our brains are at least on our side and not beating us up all the time!
Our mindset is the root of everything. It holds our beliefs, our perception of things (what we make things mean), how we see ourselves, others, the world…
Our mindset is the lens through which we see everything.

But what exactly is it? Let’s delve into this fascinating concept that involves a set of switches perched atop our genetics.

How to Massively Increase Your Level of Self-Worth by Sydney Sage
Some experts say that subconscious self-worth is where we *truly* manifest from. It’s easy to tell what your level of self-worth is…

Is it what you want it to be? That is an external reflection of your level of self-worth; of what you believe that you deserve. Remember…
