ONE SPIRIT COMMUNITY

By Morgan Langan

Puma and I had an amazing interview with Dr Vernon Woolf last week. His message for us was both inspirational and sobering. On the inspirational side, he told us that the timing of One Spirit Weekend is vital. We need leaders in their chosen field of expertise to step forward now more than ever. On the sobering side, he said that the time to take physical action is rapidly ticking down. Based upon all of the scientific data which he has available to him; the human race has as little as 2 years and perhaps as much as 25 years to change the WAY we are interacting with one another and this earth. I believe we are all sharing his sense of urgency. As a species we have been ignoring all of the warning signals so long that the world is literally on the brink of destruction. This is a pivotal point in our collective human consciousness.

Whether you believe personally you can make a difference to reverse this situation or you believe there is nothing you can do; you are right!

When I asked Dr. Woolf how to know what information is the right information, he said that the scientific information available regarding the physical status of our planet is undeniable. There are vested individuals who would rather we did not have all the facts. It is vital to carefully examine the source of any information you hear or read.

For 30 years Dr. Woolf has been teaching people how to utilize consciousness in order to “act responsibly” this is why we are so excited to have Dr. Woolf presenting our keynote address at One Spirit Weekend! He is at the forefront of changing physical reality. Not simply talking about it or theorizing about what could be done, he has been actively doing it! For 9 years Dr. Woolf worked with the Russian people as they transitioned from communism into a functional social and economic system. His program of Holodynamics was accepted and utilized by most levels of government as well as the scientific community. This comprehensive system of consciousness was integrated into many aspects of Russian life and lead to the largest privatization of land in the history of the world. This was accomplished without the need for war. Humbly, Dr Woolf says that during this entire time he never told anyone what to do. He simply taught the science of consciousness and people worked together to bring about the changes they wished to see.

What changes do you wish to see in our world? What is the legacy you wish to leave for future generations? Dr Woolf brings practical and demonstrable solutions to the problems which we are now facing. Based upon his success in Russia and his understanding of consciousness, he has designed “tracks” to direct your efforts in your particular area of leadership expertise. He will teach you the steps necessary to reach your full leadership potential so that together we may lead this world to a new WAY of being.

Please take the time to research Dr Woolf and www.Holodynamics.com then schedule your travel arrangements to join us in Sedona October 2- 5, 2009

Sincerely,

The word vegetarian has only recently become more of a mainstream word. Vegetarian food is just beginning to be offered in restaurants as main entrees and now you can even find a few vegetarian restaurants in a city.  Then, the word and concept of veganism started circulating; and now Raw Foods. What happened to the traditional meat & potatoes diet? When I told people that I was a Raw Food Vegan it was a far off concept for people to grasp but one that is so cutting edge people couldn’t help but to be very curious about it.

The Raw Food movement has exploded in the last 10 years drawing hundreds of thousands of people all over the world into its magic. Have you noticed that everything seems to be moving at a much faster pace? Well with this faster pace, we need the fuel to help us move faster to keep up with everything that’s happening! The meat & potatoes diet just isn’t going to make the final cut for the Super Hero diet. Have you ever noticed that when we need new tools to continue our evolutionary process, they seem to appear; like the computer and internet? It’s no coincidence that Super Foods are hitting the market now, to fuel us to handle the fast paced transformational times we are currently experiencing.

Thank you David Wolfe for bringing the concept of Super Foods to mainstream America!

Super foods are those “foods that have a dozen or more unique properties, not just one or two. For example, the Goji berry is a source of complete protein, immune-stimulating polysaccharides, liver-cleansing betaine, anti-aging sesquiterpenes, antioxidants, over twenty trace minerals, and much, much more.” David Wolfe, Superfoods

Today with all our technology, we have the ability to have access to the world’s best foods. Wouldn’t it make sense to make a smoothie everyday that contains 2 or more superfoods in it? Considering the fact that one superfood smoothie would probably contain more nutrients and minerals in it than 2 days worth of the standard American meal, isn’t it a no-brainer! For us here at One Spirit Weekend headquarters it is a daily regimen.

We are living in a time when we need all the ammo we can get, in the smallest package possible, to fuel us to be the Super Hero Leaders that we are. Here is a basic recipe for a superfood smoothie. From this recipe you can add more fruit or nut butters such as raw almond, cashew or pecan butter.

Protein Power Punched Superfood Smoothie

2 cups water or coconut water + meat

2 Tbsp. coconut butter

¼ cup hemp seeds

2 Tbsp. cacao powder

1 Tbsp. Maca

1 Tbsp. Spirulina

3 Tbsp. Aloe Vera Juice

3 Tbsp. Raw Honey, Yacon or Jerusalem Artichoke syrup.

¼ c. goji berries or ½ c. Blueberries or any other kind of berry.

Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt

Place all the ingredients in a blender. Taste and drink!

Congratulations on embarking on becoming a leader in your own self care program. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just starting out by reading this article you are on your way to becoming a Leader in your own life. Now the fun begins!

As we embark on a healthier path we become bombarded with information and a lot of times it contradicts other health advice we are taught. It can become very confusing. It seems everyone has their “science based” opinion about the do’s and don’ts of what to eat, how to exercise, what mind set to have, what spiritual practice is the best, what healing modality will heal certain ailments, what gadget is the best etc.

There is a lot of information to decipher to find what is right for you. This process can be daunting when all you want to do is “know” what is right for you and then focus your time, energy and money on executing the best self- care plan possible for you. Sometimes it is easier for someone else to tell you what to do, which has been occurring for a long time in the health care industry but not the most effective.

Every person is an individual. Yes, we are born with the same parts; heart, liver, hands, feet etc. but due to our belief systems, ancestry, genes and other factors we operate very differently from one another.  So it is very difficult and many times unsuccessful to treat an individual’s health problems the same way as another’s with similar symptoms.

The key to helping self-decipher all the information and advice, is to develop ones’ intuition. When you are guided by your intuition it can become easier to feel, sense and know what is right and wrong for you. Your internal guidance system will direct you into your highest potential and the best self-care program.

There are various ways to strengthen your intuition; your internal guidance system. The three main areas to begin with are the physical, mental and spiritual bodies.  Here are the basics to begin the strengthening process of your intuition. Please note that even though these three areas are separated, they exist together as a whole, they work together to create One Spirit, and therefore the tools & techniques for each area overlap and help with all the bodies.

Physical body: Cleansing the body of toxins and excess waste will help you become a better listener to it’s messages. Toxins in the body can prevent someone from being able to clearly hear their internal guidance system.

Mental body: Learning tools and techniques to quite the mind of chitter chatter will help you to hear or visualize the REAL messages that are meant for you.  Meditation, breathing exercises & yoga are just a few of the many powerful ways to access the minds intuitive nature.

Spiritual body: All the techniques for the physical and mental body will naturally guide you on your spiritual path. When you have physically detoxed, are practicing yoga and meditation, your internal guidance system will naturally lead you on a spiritual path that reflects your true nature.  When your heart and mind process spiritual and religious ideas and concepts you will receive clearer guidance on what the truth is for you.

Your self-care program based on your internal guidance system will provide a strong foundation for you being a leader in your life, a path to Independence!

As we become more independent in early adulthood we begin to take much more responsibility for ourselves. 

When we are finally “released upon the world” as Independent beings, we are responsible for “taking care” of ourselves. At some point along the way, however, the Standard American relinquishes their self care – their personal responsibility for taking proper care of themselves – and hands it over to Americas “Health Care” system.  This system is mostly designed to deal with disease & sickness after it occurs as well as emergency medical needs. It is not a system for disease prevention or for providing tools & techniques for empowering the people to care for themselves.  Healthy lifestyle choices and patterns that will assist in providing a truly healthy life path must be made by an individual.

So I ask you, are you part of the health care system, or are you ready to take a leadership role in your life and properly provide Self Care? Are you making the conscious effort to learn about what you are putting in your body? Are you aware that what you eat, drink and breathe has a direct effect on your health? Do you believe that you are what you eat?

With awareness you begin to see the connection of eating live nutritious foods to living a healthy vibrant  life. The Standard American Diet (SAD) consisting of processed, over cooked, mineral deficient non-organic food creates the perfect opportunity for a multitude of diseases to occur. When the body has been filled with these substances over a period of time and is then experiencing some form of disease the norm has been to take pharmaceutical drugs to eliminate the side effects of that disease. Our “health care” system has taken on this role of dispensing out “drugs” which generally only address the side effects of poor lifestyle choices. 

Do you think it is possible to maintain a sustainable healthy life depending on drugs and medications? We are incredibly fortunate to be living in a time of such abundant resources and information at our fingertips. We have the opportunity to have all the information we need to begin making the right decisions, to become a leader in our own life. With increased awareness of how to properly take care of our health and the abundance of healthy foods, supplements & superfoods we have access to living vibrantly healthy!

Now is the time to educate ones-self on the multitude of options for self care. In every community there are people gathering for events, workshops, conferences, festivals and retreats to learn about healing, wellness, meditation, mind & body connection, yoga, spirituality and much more.  During these transformational times we must Self educate in order to learn the tools and techniques to become an awakened leader and be responsible for the health of our mind, body & spirit.

Focusing on and learning about the food and water one consumes is a great starting point. Being surrounded by community members who are also practicing self care helps to reinforce the shift into new patterns.    Believe & know that you have the ability to choose what kind of care you deserve to be the awakened leader that you are!

Are you experiencing the physical and financial effects of Chronic Degenerative diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or arthritis? Are you paying too much in insurance premiums, or can’t get insurance because of pre-existing chronic degenerative diseases? Did you know that by shifting a few things in your diet you can have the power to correct many chronic degenerative diseases and be on the path to true health?

For years I have heard many people say that they can only afford to eat a diet of pizza, soda pop, frozen dinners and fast food meals. What a lot of people are unaware of, or have chosen not to listen to, is the fact that this type of diet leads to many health problems including chronic degenerative diseases. When one puts junky food into their body they will in turn have a junky body. This will cause insurance companies to either not want to insure the “junky” person or charge them high premiums. The great thing about this is that YOU have the power to change this. You can lead your life into health and be a leader in your health care plan.

The first step is to realize that you have the power to change your health. Yes, you are a manifestor of your own destiny. You create the outcome of your health. Once you take responsibility for your health instead of being a puppet of the Standard American Diet (SAD) you will have created the foundation for being a true leader in your life.

The second step is to create a mindset that is sustainable for you to shift your eating habits. The most successful mindset to a healthy diet is by saying YES to food instead of saying NO to food. The key is to focus on what you can ADD into your diet everyday that is healthy instead of what you have to Subtract from your diet. By continuing to eat more healthy food you will begin to create less space for that which no longer serves you; unhealthy food. 

The third step is to start flooding your body with healthy life enhancing foods. The key to eating healthy everyday is to stay prepared and plan ahead so you have healthy options all the time.  These are the first 3 things to start flooding your body with:

1. Fresh organic raw vegetables & fruit. Make salads everyday with salad dressing made from a base of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, flax seed oil or hemp seed oil and apple cider vinegar.
2.  Super foods such as gogi berries, cacao, maca and spirulina. A great way to eat your superfoods is to blend them in a smoothie with your fruit
3. Fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha & kefir.

If you focus on these 3 food groups you will have a really good start at beginning to supply your body with the nutrition for maintaining good health.  Beginning to eat this way will open the door for you to start experiencing a true shift in your health, thereby reducing the need for expensive health insurance.
