From the Publisher
A few years back I used to make frequent trips
to Detroit to The Church of Today. Marianne
Williamson, who is well known as an author and
A Course in Miracles lecturer, was the minister there
at the time. I always enjoyed listening to Marianne
share her wisdom and beliefs.
Being a student of A Course in Miracles, it was always
a great way to learn and deepen my studies.
One Sunday, Marianne talked about making
the commitment to new ways of thinking and letting
go of past thought processes. She likened it
to walking over a bridge. On one side is what we
know and our ability to grow comfortable in our
discomfort. The other side is enveloped by a fog
and we have no idea what it hides. She assured us
there are others on the far side of the bridge who
have made the walk themselves; they are there to
welcome us and help us find our way to new ways
of thinking and living. All it takes is to trust and the
desire to change.
That talk has stayed with me as I have trudged
over several bridges in the days since the morning
of that particular lecture. Walking a bridge and
not knowing what is on the other side can be an
intimidating thing. But if we look back and see
that what we are walking away from has lost value
in our minds and our hearts, it makes sense to let
go of that which no longer serves and step toward
the unknown.
May we all cross the bridges of our lives to
greater fulfillment and joy.

As a side note: The Journey Expo Cleveland
2012 will mark its 10 th Anniversary this year. To
help in making this a very special Expo, we have
added the Living & Eating Green Expo to run along
with it. Attendees will get to go to both Expos for
the price of one. We will feature James Twyman
for the headline speaker at The Journey Expo, and
John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America
and other books, as headline speaker at The Living
& Eating Green Expo.
More details about both Expos can be found in

Insight Wellness
“Education & Prevention.” Those
two words sum it up when it comes
to wellness, according to Michelle
Martin, Ed.S and founder/director of
Insight Learning & Wellness Center
in Warrensville Heights.
A school psychologist for 26 years,
Michelle followed her passion for
Michelle Martin helping children by opening Insight
Center 12 years ago. She developed her private holistic
psychology practice that included Tae Kwon Do Fun Fusion,
the therapeutic martial arts program for children and
adults.
Through the years Michelle maintained a strategic vision
for growing the center based on her clients’ interest in
wellness without pills. Insight Center is now home to a
carefully-selected team of credentialed Associates whose
high integrity work focuses on achieving and maintaining
optimal health through the holistic treatment of ADHD,
anxiety, depression, addictions, pain, and other afflictions.
Insight Learning & Wellness Center hosts classes
for mindfulness/meditation; life coaching, reiki, EFT, yoga,
parenting, cooking & nutrition. Private appointments are
available for ADHD management, educational/psychological
testing, acupuncture, spiritual counseling, & addiction
recovery, as well as reiki, reflexology, and yoga.
“Why seek holistic care and prevention in your quest for
wellness?” To Michelle, the answer is clear. “In our society
we are encouraged to spend billions of dollars on pills
and other drugs that often cause many side effects. It
is critical for our long-term health and happiness that we
use time-proven natural practices and treatments that are
effective in preventing pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD,
and other diagnoses.” To learn more, contact Michelle at

“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the
trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how
great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be
the happiest and most powerful being in the world”

• Bridge designs depend on their intended function, financial
resources and also the type of terrain where they are constructed.
While an arch bridge might be suited in one situation,
a suspension bridge might be suited in another.
• The Zhaozhou Bridge is the oldest standing bridge in China
and the world’s oldest stone segmental arch bridge. Built in
605 AD, it is still standing strong today, over 1400 years later.
• The Inca civilization in South America made use of rope
bridges in the Andes Mountains before the Europeans colonized
in the 1500’s. These rope bridges spanned canyons
and gorges, allowing easy access to otherwise difficult to
reach areas. While they were strong and reliable, repairing
the bridges was a dangerous job that often ended in death.
• During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century wrought
iron was introduced into the design of large bridges. Wrought
iron was later replaced by steel because it has a higher tensile
strength.
• The first welded road bridge was designed by Polish engineer
Stefan Bryla in 1927.
• The Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia can rise or fall up to
18 cm (7.1 inches) depending on the temperature due to the
steel expanding or contracting. It also features 6 million rivets
and weighs 39006 tons.
• The Brooklyn Bridge in New York, USA joins Manhattan and
Brooklyn over the East River. When completed in 1883, it
was the longest suspension bridge in the world (remaining so
until 1903). It features average daily traffic of around 145000
vehicles.
• The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA is a well
known suspension bridge that was completed in 1937. It has
a total length of 8981 feet (2737 metres) and features 80000
miles (129000 kilometres) of wire in its two main cables.
• The longest suspension bridge in the world (as of 2010) is
the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Kobe, Japan. It opened in 1998
and spans an incredible 1991 metres (6529 feet).

“Life is a bridge over the sea of
changes. Do not build a house
on it.”
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Burning bridges is a phrase that
advises to have an optimistic
approach to life by forgetting the
past worries, guilt, errors and
mistakes committed by the self
and others. It is common that
we cross the bridge only when
it comes and try not to think
about it, unless we come across
a bridge. But once we cross it,
we must make sure that we don’t
lament of the past and focus
only on the future or the present.
But burning the bridge also has
another perspective. One anonymous
quote says, “Careful not
to burn bridges, you might just
need to cross back”. We should
also have a clear demarcation in
deciding which bridge to burn
and which one to build. If this
is clear, then there won’t be any
guilt, or worries in life.
~ Unknown
“Be the kind of person you would like to be
with. Some people come into our lives, make
footprints on our hearts and we are never the
same. People are lonely because they build
walls instead of bridges.”

OSHO
“Meditation is nothing but a
bridge between you and light.
Then darkness is just a river,
it goes flowing underneath the
bridge; you can move to the
world of light. And the essential
core of meditation is
very simple: it is to be a witness
of your mind process,
not to be identified with the
mind processes -- thoughts,
desires, imaginations, projections,
dreams, memories and
so on and so forth -- not to be
identified with anything that
passes in the mind but to remain
aloof, watching, seeing it,
knowing, tacitly knowing ‘I am
separate, I am not it. I am just
a mirror reflecting it all but I
don’t become the reflection.”

BRIDGES TO CHANGE
By Julie Hoyle
ridges to new levels of insight and awareness come in all shapes
and sizes. Sometimes they appear as a gentle nudge or a clear inner
message, and at other times they come crashing into our lives as a
severe and radical wake-up call. BI was gifted with three nudges and a message before finally receiving a
radical wake up call in January 2003. At the time my husband, Tony, and
I were living in the Ukraine. Four months earlier, we had eagerly headed to
Kiev to take teaching positions in an international school after having been
living at an ashram in India.

“Into the Deep” by Julie Hoyle
Within an hour of arriving at work we were quietly
informed that the Ukrainian Director was such
a tyrant that every member of the department
had quit in frustration more than a year before
we got there.
While we were anticipating adventure in a city that had ballet, opera, great
architecture and history to offer, we were not expecting a working environment
choked by a tight, controlling, iron hand. Within an hour of arriving at
work we were quietly informed that the Ukrainian Director was such a tyrant
that every member of the department Tony had been hired to manage had
quit in frustration more than a year before we got there.
Brutal temperatures also challenged us as winter began taking hold. Inside
the under-heated school we shivered so much, I took to wearing my coat, hat
and gloves. Outside, at -18f, ice and snow blanketed the entire city, inviting
me to reminisce how 20 years of living in the Bahamas and then India had
Ma r c h • Ap Ap r i l i l 2012
graced me with the good fortune of
never having had to pull on thermal
underwear. ’
The first nudge arrived softly.
Four difficult months after being at
the school, in contrast to the freezing
temperatures outside, I had decorated
my classroom with huge palm
trees. I initially assumed it was as
a means of bringing some warmth
and cheer to the environment. On
another level, I pondered, “Does this
impulse contain a message of some
kind?”
With perfect synchronicity a day
or two later, I began dreaming about
the Bahamas. The dreams were
always the same. I would wake to
lucidity and find myself flying above
the turquoise, crystalline waters of
the islands as if they were calling
me to them.
Early one Sunday morning, I
shared the experiences with Tony,
saying, “I think this means something…”
Later that day, we swathed
ourselves in as many layers as possible
and headed downtown. Entering
the open plaza, I looked up and
let out a gasp. A huge screen at
least 20 feet across was vibrantly
featuring a promotional video of the
Bahamas. The footage had viewers
flying over the islands, swimming
with dolphins and finally breaking
surface to delight in the architecture
and amenities of the Atlantis Hotel
on Paradise Island.
It was a stunning sight. In six to
eight inches of snow, I was witnessing
the warmth and beauty of my dreams
made manifest, larger than life and in
t h e Jo u r n e y
full public view. For a few seconds, I felt light-headed,
disoriented and more than a little weird, yet there was an
accompanying feeling of exhilaration.
A few days later, for three consecutive mornings, I
woke just before the alarm, hearing an inner voice stating,
“When a person gives his or her life to a place, a country
and its people, it must come looking to pay them back in
return.” Stated with power and conviction, I absolutely
knew that change was in the air, but was not clear how
to act.
To get to work, our morning commute consisted of a
nose-to-nose jam-packed ride on the subway, followed
by a more pleasant stroll through a park. Winding down
a path through a promenade of trees, we would finally
cross a railway track and venture down two small slopes
before climbing steps to an elevated neighborhood.
On the morning my more radical bridge appeared, the
cold was particularly bone numbing – so cold we could
barely draw a breath. After making our way across the
railway track, Tony and I stared at one another in silent
dismay, noting that layers of snow had densely compacted
on the lower slope, producing a black, glossy,
frozen surface. With a steep bank of spiky trees on each
side there was no way around it.
Navigating the path was the only option. Tony made
his way first as I followed, placing one tentative foot in
front of the other. Despite having iron cleats on the bottom
of my boots, I slid across the ice, somersaulted and
landed back-to-front on all fours.
Straddling the slippery surface and rigid with shock,
I knew I was in trouble. Severe pain was thumping out
of my right wrist and up into the arm, accompanied by
an odd sound slicing the air, cutting through sticky trees
and echoing in the far distance. After a few seconds, I
realized I was hearing my own howling.
The dreams were always the same.
I would wake to lucidity and find
myself flying above the turquoise,
crystalline waters of the islands as
if they were calling me to them.
Everything began happening in slow motion with the
shock of the event lifting my awareness to a level where
I was viewing everything from outside my physical body.
With this elevated and expanded perspective I became
aware of a number of things simultaneously. First, I intuitively
knew I had broken my wrist in two places. Second,
I was filled with the certainty that:
“This is happening because I am cut off from my
spiritual and creative essence.”
Third, staring down at the ice I heard an inner voice
saying,
“This work situation can not continue. It has to
change!”
I knew it was over. Although Tony and I had gone to

the Ukraine with the intention of staying for two years,
I realized it was finished. These insights were confirmed
three days later. While recuperating, with my hand,
wrist and arm locked in plaster, Tony arrived home
announcing that the Ukrainian Director was becoming
jittery. Political change was in the air, which meant having
to pay taxes she had, to date, been avoiding. As a
consequence, she was cutting out her more expensive
foreign staff.
Hearing this, Tony and I began a new job search and
within days had secured work opportunities on Grand
Bahama Island.
Though disappointed not to be able to continue exploring
the richly diverse aspects of the country, Tony
and I appreciated our time spent in the Ukraine. I also
made a promise to myself that I would pay closer attention
to the gentler bridges leading to new insights – rather
than waiting for the radical, bone-breaking kind.

OVER
TROUBLED
WATERS
Nineteen people lost their lives in those few
minutes, including a young family of four whose
car had been swept away like a flimsy particle of
dust into the roaring, wild wall of water.
I was perched on the peak of a stone bridge that arched over the creek,
a passive witness to this awesome expression of Mother Nature’s unleashed
power. I watched as large trees were easily uprooted, tossed downstream
like matchsticks. I was intrigued at how we tend to underestimate the power
of such natural forces.
The raging river engulfed everything in its wake. Nineteen people lost
their lives in those few minutes, including a young family of four whose car
had been swept away like a flimsy particle of dust into the roaring, wild wall

Many times since, I have found myself reflecting on that frightening and
deadly rampage. I have often contemplated the important metaphor it offered.
A bridge over troubled waters: This is what is offered to us.
We consider ourselves fortunate as we lollygag along savoring life, accruing
pleasurable experiences here and there. There is no question that smooth

store-front windows imploded from the pressure of the waves crashing into
them. Chaos abounded.
to the fullest.
But at some point, the calm
waters of life will become tumultuous
and unsettled, occasionally
raging out of control. Setbacks and
obstacles will be encountered. Deep
and wide crevasses might appear
before us on our previously smooth
path. They will threaten safe passage
to the other side of the canyon
where we think the sun must surely
be shining.
As we apprehensively peer over
the edge of the precipice, perilously
looking down at the rapids slicing
into the floodwaters, we might find
ourselves fearful, hoping against all
odds that we don’t lose our footing.
We pray that we won’t fall into the
abyss of the turbulence below.
As the pressure surges, the
waves begin lapping up against us
and steadily rise higher and higher,
grabbing at us, threatening to engulf
us. If we can’t escape their clutches,
the waves will surely carry us away
in the fierce fury, dragging us into
the deep darkness of the frigid undercurrent.
It would be nice if we could
avoid such turmoil – and the suffering
and fear generated by it. But
sorrow, sadness, disease and loss
are all part of life as we know it in
the material world. None of us is
immune. The challenge is to find
the way to navigate through these

seemingly difficult experiences. The question becomes
how to bridge the divide over such troubled waters.
How does one learn from these apparent negative experiences?
And are they really negative experiences?
When faced with adversity, it is how we respond to
the difficulty that determines who we are. Our life experiences
will become calamitous only if we make the
conscious decision to make tragedies out of them. We
might just as easily choose to view them as opportunities
for personal growth.

to obstruct our way. We can embrace these tumultuous
times and challenges, accepting them as gifts from the
Divine. By being grateful for the raging river that blocks
our way, we can use the experience to bridge the gap
from turmoil, disappointment and suffering to a place
of understanding, wisdom and insight.
“To see through the eyes of the mountain eagle … is to
look down on a landscape in which the boundaries that
we imagined existed between life and death, shade into
each other and dissolve.” –Sogyal Rinpoche

The search for discovering the way across the deep
canyons of our journey with all of its inherent difficulties
and dangers can become the driving force of change.
The more daunting the challenge and the greater the
apparent obstacle, the more potential there is for enlightenment.
Rather than lamenting the troubled waters we encounter,
we can choose to be grateful for them, as these
obstacles in life can be the source of strength that empowers
us to rise above the very adversity that appears

Bridges: To Cross Them
or Burn Them?
By Eva Starr
When I was around the age of six my family
moved to a 50-acre farm in a little rural
town called Huntsburg, in Geauga County,
Ohio. As a child, I had numerous reoccurring
dreams in which I was traveling by car
crossing a bridge over water. The car went
off the bridge and
I drowned. This
was a past life
dream and for
most of my life
I was terrified of
crossing bridges
over water.
There weren’t
many choices as
to which roads
you took to get
into town. There
was one particular
route that my
mother used to
travel when she
went into Middlefield
that crossed
over the East
Branch Reservoir.
I used to beg her
to take another route. When you’re the mom and your
6-year-old tells you to take another route the 6-year-old
never wins.
I would close my eyes, clench my fists and hold my
breath until we reached the other side.
This wasn’t the
only bridge over
water I had to cross
as a young child.
There were a few
out in the sticks
that were frightening
– such as the dilapidated covered wooden bridges. But
the trip across wasn’t nearly as long, therefore shortening
the anxiety.
On a family vacation to Florida when I was a few
weeks shy of 18, we crossed a mammoth bridge from
Georgia to Florida (over water). I had never been so petrified
in my life; it seemed to go on forever.
It’s been 56 years since my earliest memories of being

afraid of bridges, and I’ve overcome the worry enough to
maintain a life of normalcy.
But in my dreaming world, for more than a few decades,
I would continue to have reoccurring dreams about
crossing bridges. In one, the draw bridge would open up
right as my car was going to cross; in another the bridge
would seem to go
straight up and
my car would feel
like it was going to
slide backwards.
Over time, thank
God, my bridge
nightmares have
ceased to pop up
like dandelions
in my sleep – replaced
with shadows
of a different
color.
Bridges are
a metaphor for
crossing over,
bridging the gap,
making a connection,
and moving
from one state of
consciousness to
another. They signify change – leaving what’s behind
and moving toward what’s ahead. We could go on
forever about the significance of bridges. What they
mean to each of you is individual to self, just like in
the dream world, you are the final interpreter.
As for the expression
“don’t
burn your bridges”
there are mixed
reviews on this.
In the restaurant
industry, where I
spent more than 30 years, it is common knowledge that
one never burns one’s bridges. The restaurant industry is
transient and, inevitably, you will run into that employer
or co-worker again someday.
Plus, I’ve always felt it shows good ethics and professionalism
not to burn your bridges.
This phrase of burning the bridges comes from an old
military strategy that is also connected to the “burning of
t h e Jo u r n e y
t h e Jo u r n e y

the boats.” In 1519, Conquistador Hernando Cortes
came to Mexico and conquered the Aztec Empire. Cortes
was so committed to winning, that he convinced
his soldiers to destroy their own ships so they could
not retreat, fall back or escape. It was a case of succeed
or die. This strategy created total commitment
and real motivation for his soldiers; it worked.

Whether it was Cortes or another military leader,
Napoleon Hill wrote about this in his well-known book,
Think and Grow Rich:
“A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation
which made it necessary for him to make a decision
which insured his success on the battlefield. He was
about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose
men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers
into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded
soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn
the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men
before the first battle, he said, “You see the boats going
up in smoke. That means we cannot leave these
shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice
– we win – or we perish!”
There are mixed emotions
whether certain bridges in our
lives should be burned or just left
in the dust, like a faded memory.
There are mixed emotions whether certain bridges
in our lives should be burned or just left in the dust like a
faded memory. Obviously, in extreme situations of abuse
and other forms of harmful human behavior there seems
to be a necessity to burn bridges for survival. I’ll let you
be the judge of that.
It all comes down to recognizing that we are crossing
bridges, metaphorically, every day of our lives in the
decisions we make.
“Should I stay or go?” is the proverbial question asked
today in a plethora of career situations. Some people are
taking jobs just for the sake of having a job in today’s
economy; we’ve all been there. In retrospect, again, there
is no right or wrong answer; it’s all part of the journey.
If the job is just a bridge, transporting you to the next
step on your path, then it has served its purpose well. If
you have learned a lesson, whether the experience was
one of total bliss or horrific terror, again its purpose

A BRIDGE INTO THE
UNKNOWN
By Deb Bradt
What the caterpillar calls
the end of the world,
the Master calls the butterfly.
y neighbor down the street has a butterfly
garden. One summer’s day she
invited me and my son to watch a few
monarchs emerge from their chrysalides.
As we sat in silence and waited for Mthem to crack open I was thinking about how important
it is to let life take its course. I so wanted the butterflies
to come as soon as we got there and waited with camera
in hand to capture the moment.
This reminded me a little bit of my recent journey…
one that has forever changed the course of my life. It
began a few years ago, after the birth of my little boy,
Henry. Although millions of women give birth every day,
as soon as I had the C-section, something went awry
deep inside me. I felt completely off center, as if I were
a snow globe someone shook up with flakes flying in
every direction.
For three years, the flakes kept floating. I could not
find solid ground and felt as if I may never come back to
my “old self” again.
I tried doctors and healers of all kinds, as well as a
Pa g e 24 Ma r c h • Ap r i l 2012
variety of treatments, but I always ended up feeling shaken
up, deeply depressed and intensely hopeless.
Anxiety crippled me to the point
that I could not function in daily
life. My yoga practice, which was
normally a source of great joy,
ceased to exist.
Anxiety crippled me to the point that I could not function
in daily life. My yoga practice, which was normally
a source of great joy, ceased to exist. It has been a little
over a year since I climbed out of that deep well of turmoil.
Through an amazing support system, unwavering faith
and the courage to take another step, I navigated my way
back to center. I see this period of my life not only as an
awakening and a sort of spiritual initiation but also as the
beginning of the discovery of my True Self.
When I finally found my way back to the mat, after
a transformational yoga therapy session with Swami At-
t h e Jo u r n e y
marupa Saraswati, I began to slowly put the pieces of my
physical and emotional health back together. Through
dedication to a daily practice of postures, meditation and
yoga nidra, swimming, walks in nature, a solid support
system and unwavering faith, I traversed the hump of the
most challenging bridge of my life thus far.
The practice of yoga is similar to a bridge in many
ways. You start at one point, not necessarily knowing
The practice of yoga is similar to
a bridge in many ways. You start

and deep inner peace.
what will happen along the way, and then often land in a
sweet place of unconditional love and deep inner peace.
The task of the yogi is to remain present, keenly aware
and honest about one’s potential and one’s limitations. It
is this daily process on the mat and in life that keeps my
system balanced and grounded and allows for a life filled
with boundless joy and unlimited potential.
In yoga, there is a word satya. It is translated as “truthfulness”
and has been and continues to be my anchor in
all aspects of life. What I realized was that, for me, the real
bridge is not necessarily even from one point to another or

butterfly at just the right moment.
even from an obstacle into a clearing but from the small
self into that of the True Self – the Self that surpasses all
understanding.
The Course in Miracles states, “When you realize there
is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” For
the True Self, there is nothing lacking and nothing that
cannot be overcome.
I find now that every moment of my life is a minimiracle
and that this recent experience was simply, as my
dad used to say, “A bump in the road.” I am now armed
with a sense of empowerment, profound gratitude and a
strong belief that the human spirit is truly, as Marianne
Williamson wrote in her book A Return to Love, “powerful
beyond measure.”
Ultimately, every solitary second of life is an opportunity
to transcend and then transform, just as the chrysalis
releases its butterfly at just the right moment. One experience
takes us gently into the next…even those we wish
would have been different.
Not knowing who I was and how I was going to make
it to the other side actually created the perfect platform for
a pivotal reawakening. I will continue to enjoy watching the

metamorphosis of butterflies, rising to the pinnacle of a
bridge and gliding down the other side.
Daily I am reminded how fragile life is and how all is exactly
as it is meant to be. When I look back to that summer’s
day, I remember the most important part of the butterfly’s
lesson. It was when Henry effortlessly caught the monarch
in his hand. She remained there for a while, slowly opening
and closing her wings in a soft rhythm, waiting for just
the right moment to ascend. To us, it seemed like it took
forever, but then, without hesitation, she launched herself
into the open blue sky.
The beauty of life resides in this dance of moving from
one stage into the next, like the bridge of the caterpillar
transitioning into the cocoon and, finally, the butterfly. With
each obstacle, each little bump, the power of the human
spirit strengthens.
As I look back on those challenging years, I clearly
see how each situation was actually an opportunity for
growth.
The journey of life cannot be planned. It can only be
experienced, appreciated and savored. As I reach the end
of this bridge and anticipate the next, now, for the first time,
I know I am ready to travel the road that lies ahead.

Einstein and the
Pa g e 28
Speed of Light
=mc 2 . Matter cannot be created
nor destroyed. There is no
Enew energy in the Universe.
Everything is either in existence or being
transformed into something new.
Einstein’s formula calculates what
physical matter would be equivalent
to, if it were all suddenly converted
into energy. According to his formula, matter would be
changed into energy by multiplying its mass by the square
of the speed of light.
Does anyone else notice that the key part of this
equation is light? M is Mass – physical density. E is Energy
– the propelling force of nature. C is the speed of light. If
you multiply the mass (your body, life, solid matter) by
the square of the speed of light you release its inherent
energy. If you want to transmute something, you should
multiply it by the speed of light.
So the bridge between where you are and where you
want to be is all about light.
It really doesn’t matter what side you are looking
at – matter (the way things are, the current condition) or
energy (the potential). Matter can be turned into energy
and energy can be turned into matter.
The Energetic Bridge between
where you are and where you want
to be is all about higher energy.
Matter is the physical representation of the mass
– your weight, the physical make-up of your bones, tissues,
the condition of the world around you. Energy is
the force that propels you through the Universe – the
power for personal change, physical workouts, injuries,
new experiences and paradigms. Either one can be your
doorway to new ways of being.
You cannot go from being the Old You with previous
paradigms, belief systems and daily habits to being the
New You all in one day. You need a bridge to get there;
small steps taken in the same direction; a homeostasis
of love that can hold you on the path even when your
current results are not encouraging.
How can you create that energetic bridge? Find practices
that access light and higher energy. Multiply your
relationships by the speed of light squared (which, inci-
By wah!
Ma r c h • Ap r i l 2012
dentally, is about a billion feet per second – pretty fast).
If you take the speed of light and multiply it by itself, you
will have the higher energy you need to transform your
life and all its physical manifestations.
What exactly are the practices that can bring a
complete, instantaneous change? What practices access
healing energy that can move at the speed of light? I say
this: You tell me… because you know.
Your prayer cast into the Universe can attract the
perfect thing to help you move into light. It might be a
Unity service, a chiropractic session, a healing herb or
involvement in a soup kitchen… you know. It will come,
and you will know this is the thing that can carry you at the
speed of light to a new attitude and a new existence.
Something or someone will come into your life to
help you loosen your grip on the old conclusions, judgments
and patterns you knew so well and have held for
so long…and it will move at the speed of light.
Higher energies are your bridge. Do you trust the
Universe to carry you at the speed of light?
A lyric from my new CD, Loops N Grooves, says:
Between what you want and you is a sacred trust.
You know, you can’t hold it too tightly.
You might suffocate the essence of your heart.
Hold with (your) light and lightly hold that which you
wish to create.
Sometimes things can’t move at the speed of light
because you are holding them too tightly. Or they are too
t h e Jo u r n e y
deeply embedded in your system, buried under many
layers of emotions, and therefore difficult to access.
Your neuroses, fears, unfinished business and emotional
wounds have to be brought into existence through conversations,
interactions and experiences so they can be
seen, felt and then recreated.
The bridge is the path of light that leads you to new
awareness. I think it is the hardest work in anyone’s
life.
The teachings are so easy to say. People expound
on them, write books and give lectures. It doesn’t make
it any easier to do. When your inner, deepest emotional
weaknesses are being pulled forward from you, to be
worked on and healed, it can be the most painful experience
of your life. It might manifest as physical injury, to
bring your attention to the matter. Or it might manifest
as a conversation with a family member.
Particles change to waves, waves
change to particles, the atoms
dance, they move. As your attitude
changes, your experiences change,
opportunities open up. Be free.
Whatever it is, your job is to encourage it to come
forward so you can multiply the light by itself and transmute
it. It will heal.
It isn’t that we don’t know this stuff. It’s just that it’s
too painful to practice. Or it feels like there’s no end to
the spiritual work.
Do you ever get to a place where you feel, “I’ve done
the spiritual work, now I should be getting respect, or
material wealth, or status?” As if a lifetime of spiritual
work warranted some reward? As if one person is more
privileged than another who might be doing less spiritual
practice or personal work? Arrogance is another way of
holding tightly. If you loosen your grip, hold with love and
allow the light to work through you, you will transmute the
matter again and again. You will learn this lesson many
times in one lifetime.
The answer is not in changing what you are doing
(matter), or how you are doing it (energy). The answer
lies in changing your deepest belief, and with awareness,
going into its innate nature to release its rigidity.
Things that get used in the same way over a long
period of time get rigid. Dense matter moves slowly.
Light moves quickly. Light moves through space. Unlike
radio waves and cell phone radiation, light does not
travel through solid matter, except for windows and other
transparent objects.
Create more space in your body through proper
alignment and healing work; create more space in your
mind through experimentation, new attitudes, cleaning
house, clearing your heart. Things that move at the speed
of light are not always in a predictable form.
Particles change to waves, waves change to particles,
the atoms dance, they move. As your attitude changes,
t h e Jo u r n e y
your experiences change, opportunities open up. Be
free.
We need you to work at the speed of light. To work
in light and with light. We need you to be flexible. To try.
To love. To reach into the unknown. To be a bridge for
others who can’t make that jump.
This is the deep work of the spirit. It is the blessing of
being on a spiritual path at this point in time and history. I
pray for you … that you continue finding and feeding practices
of light and love – yoga, chanting, meditation, healing,
health seminars, food, farming, community, family.
May you apply light to all aspects of your life. Especially
the parts of your life that irritate you, the situations
that don’t hold infinite vibration, the friendships and family
relations that don’t practice clean and loving communication.
Take all the dense parts of your life and add light.
Not to help them, but to clean up your vibration and free
you of the burden of carrying that belief.
We want you to jump to the new. It’s an intentionbased
Universe. Change can be instantaneous or in real
time. Whatever the timeline, make it a practice to unveil
old judgments and karmas and sing to them, pray to
them, heal them. And then call me up and tell me matter
really does convert to energy, because you will have
so much energy you will easily heal yourself and those
around you with some to spare.

Soul Food
Soul Food is dedicated to all my readers as an offering
to share my metaphysical musings and the lessons
that I have encountered throughout my journey here in
this classroom we call Planet Earth. I encourage your
questions and quandaries as we grow together toward
solution and enlightenment.
Dear Eva:
I am a veterinarian who has dedicated my life to
compassion, healing and medical advancement for animals.
Often, I become exhausted trying to “bend over
backwards” for my patients’ owners to accommodate
their needs. The veterinary business is one of customer
service and emotional exhaustion. Despite my very best
efforts, there are times I cannot please every single pet
owner. My staff and I often have to deal with rudeness and
personal attacks from angry clients. Although 9 out 10
times, these outbursts are for reasons beyond our control,
I cannot stop blaming myself for not keeping everyone
100 percent happy. I often look inward and find fault in
these situations, whether or not it is there. Do you have
any advice for washing away the day’s toxic comments
and emotions from an angry client so I can come home
and be present for my children and family?
Venting Vet in Cleveland
Dear Venting Vet:
I commend you for your profession; any profession
dealing with the public, which provides a service, is a
challenging one to say the least. Having been in the
restaurant industry for 30-plus years I understand only
too well.
One thing that it helps to remember is that you are
No. 1, even before the animals. Your health and your sanity
are crucial to your being able to care for your clients
with the utmost professionalism and compassion you
can muster. The only way one achieves this is to nurture
thyself. When flying on an airplane, notice what the flight
attendant says as she is going through the motions of the
safety drill. She states, “Put the oxygen mask on yourself
first, your children second.” There is a reason for this,
just like anything in life: If you can’t breathe you are no
good at helping others, be it your child or an animal. So
please take heed to the airlines’ advice.
Next, what works for me is to remember the title of
Teri-Cole Whitaker’s book, What You Think of Me is None
of My Business! Yes, I realize easier said then done, but
if you could just make that your mantra, getting through
your day with rude, thoughtless, angry clients will become
a lot easier.

By Eva Starr
Something else that works when a crazed person is
shouting obscenities at you is to simply smile and say,
“Thank you for sharing.” That usually shuts them up.
Mentally bless the people you
are having problems with…You
don’t have to let anyone know
you’re doing this; just bless them
in your morning meditation and
wish for them all the things you
would wish for yourself.
I also tell my clients to mentally bless the people they
are having problems with. I know that this sounds crazy,
but I can’t tell you how many people have come back to
tell me, “You’re never going to believe this but...” That
one little trick in itself is a lifesaver. You don’t have to let
anyone know you’re doing this; just bless them in your
morning meditation and wish for them all the things that
you would wish for yourself.
Last but certainly not least, surround yourself with a
shield of white light each morning before you walk into
work. Just uttering the words “white light” has saved
people’s lives. I use this simple ritual myself quite a bit.
You may want to check out your local gem store and
get yourself a “snowflake obsidian” pendant. They’re
great at protecting you from negative energies. Then
when all is said and done at the end of your day, run a
bath with warm water and sea salts, lay in the tub with
your heart chakra covered, light a candle, sip a glass of
Cabernet and sink into the abyss of serenity.
Dear Eva:
I consider myself a positive person and I say affirmations
and read positive books but I just don’t feel my life
is going the way I want it to. What thoughts do you have
on The Secret and the whole “positive” movement?
Wanting More in Manchester, PA
Dear Wanting:
The mind thinks no less than 60,000 thoughts a day.
That’s quite a bit of thinking going on in the hollows of
t h e Jo u r n e y
our brains. You may think you think positive thoughts, but
in reality how many of those 60,000 thoughts are actually
positive?
We don’t say as many positive
things throughout our days as
we think we do.
We don’t say as many positive things throughout our
days as we think we do. When I was teaching the Louise
Hay groups in Cleveland, I had my students listen to their
self-talk for a week. They were amazed at all the negative
things that not only came out of their mouths but also the
mouths of people around them.
You may wake up in the morning and say, “I am prosperous.”
But when it comes time to pay for your gas at the
pump, or tip a server, you may complain about the prices
or the service. If you complain about the government, or
anything else that comes across through the media, that’s
still putting your energy in a negative space.
We need to be extremely watchful of not only our
words but our thoughts as well. The Universe is like a giant
computer, and you are the computer programmer; what
goes in comes out. If you really want to know how positive
you are just take a look at your life and the evidence is as
clear as the nose on your face.
As for The Secret, it seems to be related to our first
question. My take is that there are some good principles in
The Secret, but I feel that people may take away from it that
you merely have to wish and your magic genie will appear.
Here’s a point that I don’t believe is clearly addressed in
The Secret: First, we need to rid the garden of the weeds
that have been growing for quite some time, then till, plant
and fertilize. Action seems to be the missing ingredient for
most. It’s not a mystery that the only thing that separates
the two percent of millionaires in the world from the other
98 percent is action. Take a look at what you’re saying,
and then look at what you’re doing. Namaste.

InnerViews
By Kimmie Rose Zapf
Aries
March — Yes, you’re busy, but don’t forget to breathe.
Remember that your time is lucrative. Make the best of it.
Don’t keep secrets. And take the edge off that honesty.
Being tactful doesn’t rob your comments of their value.
April — Happiness can only come when you behave
in an honorable manner with yourself. There’s no shame
in setting boundaries, but that isn’t enough. You have to
actually operate within those boundaries in order to reap
the emotional benefits of living honorably.
Taurus
March — Your family ties will be strengthened as
you become better at communicating with each other. In
the beginning, this communication may be difficult, but
don’t give up. Take small steps and watch the improvement
begin.
April — Worrying isn’t good for your mental or physical
health. Stop. Don’t wait for outside forces to solve
problems or make you happy. Make yourself happy by
finding constructive ways to balance your life with positive
thoughts and actions.
Gemini
March — Relationship issues speed ahead when you
find yourself in complete awe of a new person. But don’t
move so quickly that you fail to enjoy each moment. New
bliss is euphoric. Always enjoy the journey and the good
emotions that come with it.
April — Financial problems can be overwhelming,
but not for you. Spend wisely to prevent adding new
problems. Don’t become discouraged. Give things time
to settle and remember that a new start is often very
refreshing and calming.
Leo
March — Have fun when possible, but be aware
of your mischievous nature. Also, be cautious of bad
spending choices. Traveling is great, but remember,
when you’re far away from home, you tend to do things
you wouldn’t do otherwise. Make careful choices in all
of your actions.
April — You’re experiencing anger and resentment
with relationships. These emotions are OK — in very small
quantities. Don’t let yourself become obsessed with them.
The pain they cause will only hold you back. Let things
go so you can move forward.
Virgo
March — New relationships arise. You’ll be able to
have fun and not worry about how things will turn out.
Your positive emotions will produce a wonderful, freeing
sensation. Enjoy this time.
April — A new love in your life will bring a great
depth in intimacy. Open your heart and mind to this new
romance and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Pay attention
and you’ll learn a few things about yourself.
Libra
March — Communicating clearly will help you avoid
misunderstandings in relationships. Being careful in your
speech will prevent down-the-road regret. Speak with
clarity and empathy.
April — Yes, you’re related to them, but be careful.
Family members have feelings, too. Be kind and empathetic
and your relationships may improve, not worsen.
And there’s no harm in doing a few family favors but set
limits. Remember, you don’t have to get angry to turn
down a request.
Cancer
March — Spring may be off to a hectic start, so make
time for yourself. Explore a relaxing hobby. In your relationships,
allow yourself to forgive. Truly forgiving can
be courageous and powerful. You’ll feel better and all of
your relationships will improve greatly.
April — Embracing new beginnings in your own life
will help you resist the urge to be judgmental of others.
Release judgment. Making time for yourself during this
period will allow you to attract abundance.

Scorpio
March — Feeling tired may make you want to detach
from the world, remember that you’re not alone. If you pull
away too abruptly, those around you may misunderstand
and think you’re detaching from them. Just explain that
you need time to yourself.
April — Yes, it’s true. Letting go is hard, but dealing
with your emotions constructively while allowing yourself
to grow is even harder. Give change a try and be understanding
of others on the same journey.
t h e Jo u r n e y
Sagittarius
March — This is a good time to think about investing,
but advance carefully. Keep in mind that money can be
very difficult. Protect yourself by doing ample homework
before investing your time and your hard earned money
in any new endeavor.
April — When your ego gets fired up inside you calm
it down! Yes, you’re known for your ego, but if you set
it aside you’ll find good things manifest more easily for
you.
Capricorn
March — Watching your words will help you avoid
relationship issues. This is a good time to travel, be sure
to be nice to the new people you encounter. They may
turn up in unexpected places later.
April — Now is the time for forward movement. You’ll
find good options with finances and investments, so keep
your eyes open to all opportunities. As always, invest
your time and energy wisely.
Aquarius
March — This is a favorable time for you, but you’ll
have to keep your eyes open to unexpected things to see
all the good opportunities coming your way. Look for educational
opportunities and workplace advancement.
April — New love is in the air just like the change
of seasons. Keep that warm, energizing feeling by communicating
clearly and openly with family members. Yes,
it’s OK to love them, too.
Constantly Updated!

www.thejourneymag.com
Pisces
March — The past is in the past. Allow yourself to
move forward by learning to appreciate the lessons
you’ve learned and expressing happiness instead of
regret. With your new, improved, attitude things really
will get better.
April — Be empathetic and don’t make superficial
assumptions about people or situations. Open your mind
and heart to others rather than jumping to conclusions.
You may find things are different than they initially appeared.

Th e Jo u r n e y
On Spiritual Practice
By Sophie Rose
IIn this age of technology and materialism, when many
wonder what tomorrow will bring, the resurgence of
spirituality is a normal phenomenon.
For centuries, people have turned to religions or other
belief systems for support and understanding. Yet it never
resulted in a better world on a global level – an improved
personal life perhaps, but not a better planet.
So one can wonder why, after centuries of religious
or spiritual teachings on love, forgiveness, presence or
service, the world situation has not improved spiritually;
why acts of sharing and forgiveness are the exception,
not the norm. We can guess that the majority of people
weren’t ready for these teachings, that the failure to bring
peace, love or the end of suffering on earth is the failure
of humanity. After all, the spiritual realm did its job, didn’t
it? So why aren’t people listening?
The answer lies in each of us. Our perception of the
world is a very personal thing; it involves our mind and
the infinite interpretations it can make about our experiences.
This is how most of us lead our lives: We base our
actions on what our minds are telling us. Yet many spiritual
teachings tell us to go the other way: love, meditate,
watch your mind, forgive, practice compassion, open
your heart.
Faith doesn’t abide by rules.
Unlike belief, it has nothing to do
with religion and everything to do
with following one’s heart.
The discrepancy between the teachings and what
we do with them is as wide as the gap between faith and
belief. Faith is the mysterious spiritual touch that brings
a sacred dimension to our life. Faith doesn’t abide by
rules. Unlike belief, it has nothing to do with religion and
everything to do with following one’s heart. Faith is our
personal affair with our spiritual Self. Are we in a relationship
with our soul or are we cut off from it?
We can tell by the quality of our life: A person who
has faith acts from a place of trust and inner knowledge.
A person who doesn’t have faith acts from the mind. This
person doesn’t trust life and often second-guesses himself.
Faith is this indescribable feeling of knowing what’s
right for oneself and acting on it. That’s what soul work
is about: the inner knowledge of what one has to learn
and do in this lifetime.
t h e Jo u r n e y
Pa g e 37
Every soul has its purpose, every heart its calling.
The work required to discover it is a spiritual journey
some feel drawn to take. As you embark on this path, the
real adventure begins, a new perspective slowly arises,
old attachments vanish to leave room for new experiences.
Your outlook on life shifts to incorporate spiritual
realities and your inner transformation is mirrored in the
outer world.
A spiritual practice is the very
simple act of getting in touch with
your Self. Not with your mind, your
feelings or your body, but with
this sense of presence or being
behind them.
Every spiritual journey leads to a better understanding
of your place in the world. Spiritual practice helps
you connect with your Self, which is a drop in the sea of
consciousness. As you connect with consciousness, you
slowly learn that there is an intelligent design underlying
your life, and that the spiritual realm contains all you need
to know. So why not pick up a spiritual practice?
How do we define spiritual practice? A spiritual practice
is the very simple act of getting in touch with your
Self. Not with your mind, your feelings or your body, but
with this sense of presence or being behind them.
How to go about it is a matter of personal preference.
A few things should guide your choice: Religion and/or
tradition do not matter, except to your heart, so it is very
important to follow your intuition and not your mind (or
another’s).
Practice will make all the difference: Spirituality is an
experience, not an intellectual pastime. Discouragement
is common and the best way to deal with it is not to expect
anything from your practice. Flowers only bloom in
the right season, provided they were well cared for. Your
spiritual practice also will bloom in the right season.
