Founder's Message<br />
Hi Everyone,<br />
So we are now on the 6th issue of<br />
'<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Spirit</strong>' online magazine.<br />
I think that we can all agree that March was a very busy and mad month!<br />
It's wonderful that the summer feeling is here and business seems to be<br />
picking up for everyone. We now have a new 'Local Business Directory'<br />
in the magazine which is free for subscribers to be listed.<br />
I'd like to dedicate this issue to Ken Ashley from Pedralba who recently<br />
passed away on 29th March <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Also a big thank you to everyone who has been sending me ideas and<br />
suggestions, I love it that each month more and more people are getting<br />
involved. So you can continue to send info to<br />
<strong>Community</strong><strong>Spirit</strong>112@gmail.com<br />

THINGS TO DO<br />
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!<br />
Exclusive interview with the owners,<br />
Ghislain Mouton and Jeremy Trizzulla of<br />
Delta o2 in Valencia.<br />

1 NO.<br />
So this year I thought that it<br />
would be a great idea to<br />
start transforming my<br />
lifestyle and trying out new<br />
alternative therapies and<br />
wellbeing treatments. As I<br />
am such an open-minded<br />
person, I thought that it<br />
would be a great idea to<br />
experience treatments<br />
which are really unusual and<br />
different! So I was sitting at a<br />
cafe in Valencia talking with<br />
my friends Kelly Darling and<br />
Ben Eilers, when she<br />
mentioned a new business<br />
that offers oxygen healing<br />
treatments which has just<br />
opened in Valencia. As it<br />
sounded just like the kind of<br />
thing I was thinking of!<br />
So we finished our coffee<br />
and walked down to their<br />
new centre on the Calle del<br />
Doctor Ferrán, number 13<br />
(46021), which is an awesome<br />
street address for a healing<br />
centre, don´t you think! We<br />
popped in to say ´Hallo´ and<br />
where kindly met by Benoît Roul<br />
and Jeremy Trizzulla at the front<br />
desk.<br />
Benoit and Jeremy are both<br />
French and speak Spanish, and<br />
Benoit speaks English, so<br />
considering all of that, we had a<br />
great conversation and arranged<br />
to setup an interview with one of<br />
the associate Ghislain Mouton for<br />
the following week.<br />
THE INTERVIEW<br />
Richard: “So can you tell me more<br />
about who you are and why you<br />
decided to setup your business<br />
here in Valencia?”<br />
Ghislain: “OK, let me introduce<br />
myself first, I was born in the<br />
North of France, I studied as an<br />
engineer in informatics (IT) and I<br />
have been working in Switzerland,<br />
Geneva for 6 years. I wanted to<br />
get rid of my job, I didn’t want to<br />
do it anymore, but wasn't sure<br />
what I wanted to do! I really<br />
wanted to change my life and so I
Richard speaks with Ghislain<br />
thought I need to go to a new<br />
country and have a new life<br />
experience. I have a friend in<br />
Valencia, so I thought it would be<br />
good to visit them and see what<br />
happens. I love the city and I love<br />
Valencia, when I got here I thought I<br />
would originally open a wine bar,<br />
nothing to do with oxygen at all!”<br />
Richard: “Well maybe!”<br />
Ghislain: “Yes, maybe! But in the<br />
end it didn’t work and I went to a<br />
meeting organised by French people<br />
with French entrepreneurs that they<br />
have created here in Valencia and<br />
this is where I met Jeremy and<br />
Benoit. They already had this oxygen<br />
centre but it was in Paterna, about<br />
15 km away from Valencia. There<br />
were not that many people<br />
interested in it and they wanted to<br />
move, they had the machine, the<br />
centre, the idea and everything to<br />
start except they didn’t have the<br />
money to make it a success and<br />
move to the centre of Valencia. So,<br />
after a few few talks we decided to<br />
start working together and become<br />
equal partners in business together."<br />
Richard: “What was it that<br />
made you think it was more<br />
interesting than a wine bar?”<br />
Ghislain: “After we met, me<br />
and my wife decided to go and<br />
try out the oxygen chamber<br />
because we had never tried it<br />
before. We liked it so much<br />
that we had several sessions to<br />
start with and at the time<br />
living in a high tower on the<br />
seventeenth floor. I always<br />
wanted to use the stairs and<br />
not the lift, but it was<br />
impossible before I started<br />
doing the oxygen treatment.<br />
After the second session of<br />
oxygen therapy, I could climb<br />
the seventeen flights of stairs<br />
without being tired or running<br />
out of breath! It was amazing<br />
the difference on my body!”<br />
Richard: “Wow, so the<br />
treatment gives you more<br />
energy, a lot more energy. A<br />
super power energy.”<br />
Ghislain: “Exactly, and that<br />
convinced me to work with<br />
with Jeremy and Benoit with this oxygen<br />
treatment because of the quick changes<br />
to my body, that was the living proof of it<br />
working.”<br />
Richard: “So this is a high tech healthcare<br />
system, using technology that most<br />
people haven’t heard of yet. It very<br />
interesting.”<br />
Ghislain: “It was used for a long time for<br />
diving incidents.”<br />
Richard: “That is what I thought, when<br />
you think of oxygen you think of diving.”<br />
Ghislain: “Exactly, if you dive into water<br />
and go 50 meters down in the water and<br />
you go down one way, you have to stop at<br />
35 meters for 3 to 4 minutes, if you don’t,<br />
you get the decompression problem. This<br />
program is used to help people recover<br />
from this problem, the therapy has been<br />
borrowed from this program. This is the<br />
first reason they exist, now they are used<br />
for many, many things.”<br />
Richard: “So, if I was just walking down<br />
the street and walked into a place like<br />
this, what are the benefits, what is the<br />
purpose of having this treatment?”<br />
2 0 C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T
Ghislain: “One of the first benefits<br />
if you travel a lot is to recover<br />
from jet lag because in a plane, the<br />
oxygen density is lower than<br />
normal and if you stay a long time<br />
in this atmosphere your body is<br />
weakened fighting against bacteria<br />
and maybe the viruses that people<br />
bring with them on the plane.<br />
More, your internal clock (pineal<br />
gland) needs a lot of oxygen in<br />
order to work properly and<br />
efficiently and to allow you to<br />
recover from jet lag”<br />
Richard: “So, the pineal gland is<br />
controlling all that internal clock,<br />
the internal planning that tells you<br />
what and when to do things.”<br />
Ghislain: “Yes, when you sleep.”<br />
She can now play football in the park<br />
with her grandchildren, she can cross<br />
the street to the market and come<br />
back and still do things! It’s given her a<br />
whole new lease of life. For sportsmen<br />
also it works great, we have 4 people<br />
who came before the last marathon<br />
and they increased their performance.”<br />
Richard: “So, adding more oxygen into<br />
your blood is obviously does<br />
something quite powerful to you, so<br />
what is the science behind it?”<br />
Ghislain: “The oxygen goes to every<br />
part of the body traveling with blood,<br />
cells, every part, it produces the<br />
energy to improve its functioning.”<br />
Richard: “Does this mean we are not<br />
getting enough oxygen in our body?”<br />
Richard: “It is almost like becoming<br />
superhuman or something. Is the<br />
pollution in the atmosphere slowing us<br />
down and making us tired?”<br />
Ghislain: “Superhuman, may be not …<br />
but as a sportsman leaving far away<br />
from contamination, who takes care of<br />
his body, eat well, do exercises, breath<br />
pure air without smoking or drinking.”<br />
Richard: “Presumably it helps you to<br />
rejuvenate your body and makes you<br />
look and feel younger?”<br />
Ghislain: “Yes, and your skin is<br />
smoother and elastic the wrinkles<br />
decrease.”<br />
Richard: "So, what if you have a<br />
tattoo?"<br />
Richard: “So, what other<br />
benefits?”<br />
Ghislain: “We also have more<br />
energy, your limits will be higher!<br />
You can walk for 2 hours before<br />
you get tired but with the oxygen<br />
therapy you can walk 4 hours!”<br />
Richard: “Is this also for any ages,<br />
normally, for example, when you<br />
get older, you find it harder to<br />
breathe?”<br />
Ghislain: “Yes, we have a<br />
neighbour here her name is Pura.<br />
She is 77 years old and before<br />
having her oxygen treatment here<br />
she was with her grandchildren<br />
and she wanted to play with them,<br />
but she couldn’t because she got<br />
tired by just crossing the street to<br />
come here and go back to her flat!<br />
But after the sixth session here it<br />
started to transform her life!<br />
Ghislain: “No, this is not that it’s more<br />
the fact that many cells don’t receive<br />
enough nutrients and oxygen for a<br />
normal functioning. Why ? Because the<br />
body becomes older and alternates<br />
each day, blood vessels also because of<br />
everydays bad treatments (alcohol, bad<br />
food, contamination, pollution,<br />
tobacco, etc). Vessels get more and<br />
more clogged and so many cells are in<br />
lack of oxygen and don’t function at<br />
100%. Hypebaric oxygen therapy helps<br />
you to breathe 15 times more oxygen<br />
and this oxygen is stocked in your<br />
body (this stocking function is very<br />
important because in normal<br />
condition, breathing in an air with 21%<br />
of oxygen, it is immediately used by<br />
cells and cannot be stocked). This<br />
stock of oxygen will help renovating all<br />
the body blood cells altered with time<br />
and so all the cells will will be able<br />
again to receive all the necessary<br />
nutrients and oxygen. ”<br />
Ghislain: “I tried this, you need 1 or 2<br />
months for the scar to heal, this tattoo<br />
was made one and a half weeks ago,<br />
after 2 sessions of 6 hours and 15 days<br />
after with 5 sessions of oxygen therapy<br />
the scaring had gone.”<br />
Richard: “I was thinking, for example,<br />
with things like wounds from<br />
accidents?”<br />
Ghislain: “Yes, also other things like<br />
blisters and things that you have deep<br />
inside that are disgusting and open,<br />
with this therapy you need less time to<br />
cure them.”<br />
Richard: “It is interesting because this<br />
is technical scientific healing, that’s<br />
coming from the inside of the person. I<br />
am amazed that so few people have<br />
heard about this!”<br />

Richard inside the oxygen<br />
chamber.<br />
Ghislain: “Exactly, it is quite old, it mainly began to develop in the 60’s.<br />
Now, It is very common in South America and Asia also it is very<br />
developed in Canada and the United States.”<br />
Richard: “How come it is popular there?”<br />
Ghislain: “We don’t know why. The good question should be ‘Why isn’t it<br />
popular?’I don’t understand. You can only find hyperbaric oxygen<br />
treatments in hospital or clinics focused with the most important cases of<br />
diving accident or illnesses with very high prices that make the treatment<br />
unaffordable for the masses if it’s not refunded by social security or<br />
private insurances. But for everyone's wellness, for prevention, for<br />
sportsman, for beauty, for jet lag … and many other benefits ... we all<br />
should be able to benefit from it to increase our health without taking<br />
medicine. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy hasn’t been developed here for the<br />
moment. That’s why we are here!”<br />
Richard: “Without taking medicines? Maybe laboratories don’t want<br />
people to use this because of the financial implications?”<br />
Ghislain: “It is probably that. In Europe, with the help of social security,<br />
there are always medicaments for everything and everyone .. even for<br />
nothing, hahaha …”<br />
Richard: “I notice here in Spain, every town, village or wherever you will<br />
see these big green crosses and it is like every town has at least 3 or 4 or<br />
these pharmaceutical shops.”<br />
Richard: “So, how much does this cost per session?”<br />
Ghislain: “We have the cost of one session is 30 euros, but one session is<br />
not useful, maybe for headaches or things like that but we mostly sell a<br />
package of 5 or 10 sessions, if you buy 5 sessions it is 24 euros per session<br />
and with 10 sessions it brings the session at 18 euros.”<br />
Richard: “Is that 10 days, or 10 weeks how does that work?”<br />
Ghislain: “It can be what you want, it can be 10 days if you want, in the<br />
beginning, it is good to do 5 sessions every day and after 1 or 2 each week<br />
depending on each person. When you have the package, there is no lapse<br />
time, you can do whatever you want. The most logic is to do the 5 sessions<br />
or 10 as close together as possible, then you can have 1 or 2 each week to<br />
keep your first charge of oxygen so your body will not feel lack of oxygen.”<br />

Richard: “I did think these look a little<br />
like capsules that you would use in a<br />
spaceship. Like a Sci-Fi film. It reminds<br />
me of the song by David Bowie, ‘Ground<br />
Control to Major Tom."<br />
Richard: “I have always known that the<br />
pineal gland is your connection to the<br />
Universe, do you know much about<br />
that?<br />
Richard: “Are there any side effects from<br />
it, like does your hair fall out?”<br />
Ghislain: “No, but the oxygen can be toxic<br />
if you do more than two hours per day, we<br />
never do more than that, one and a half<br />
hours which is our maximum time, for the<br />
tattoo I do one and a half hours, 5 sessions<br />
of one and a half hours.”<br />
“The equipment is made so that it will<br />
automatically turn off after 2 hours<br />
maximum. Another thing there are no side<br />
effects, but some contraindications, for<br />
example : a pregnant woman, a person<br />
who sufffers from epilepsy without<br />
treatments, a person with a recent surgery<br />
from the ear-drum, a person that is in<br />
treatment for a cancer, a person that has a<br />
pacemaker made before 2009 that does<br />
not support pressure as well as the newest<br />
one….”<br />
Richard: “So, it is the pressure thing?”<br />
Ghislain: “You will feel a little bit like you<br />
are taking off in a plane, you will notice a<br />
little bit of pressure on your ears, it will do<br />
exactly the same. If you have a cold It is<br />
better to wait a little bit. These are the<br />
only conditions you should not have the<br />
treatment.”<br />
Richard: “I find it amazing that the<br />
human body can heal itself and<br />
with the right technology it can do<br />
even more!”<br />
Ghislain: “That is right it can do<br />
anything and oxygen is the best<br />
NATURAL healing element for us to<br />
take.”<br />
Richard: “It is healing the body, it is<br />
rejuvenating the body. What about<br />
the pineal gland, can you tell me<br />
more about that?”<br />
Ghislain: “The pineal gland is<br />
something that is located under<br />
your brain and when you get older<br />
the less your pineal gland works<br />
because its walls gets calcificated.<br />
It’s a very vascularized gland and<br />
when calcifying itself, many blood<br />
vessels disappear each time and so<br />
less and less oxygen is brought to<br />
the gland … and it has less and less<br />
oxygen to produce the melatonine<br />
Under pressure, the oxygen<br />
stocked in the cerebrospinal fluid<br />
goes through the pineal gland walls<br />
and brings it the necessary element<br />
to produce good level of melatonin<br />
again. It seems that one hour of<br />
sleep in the oxygen chamber is<br />
equal to 4 hours of sleeping at<br />
home.”<br />
Ghislain: “No, I do not know that much<br />
about that. We have a friend here, his<br />
name is Mark, he is very interested in<br />
these kinds of things and when he has a<br />
session in one of the chambers he says<br />
he has many things that come to him<br />
through his third eye. We have many<br />
clients who have fallen asleep in the<br />
chambers and they have deep dreams,<br />
maybe because the oxygen feeds the<br />
pineal gland which is linked to this third<br />
eye, they tell us of some remarkable<br />
dreams.”<br />
Editor's Note<br />
After the session, I drove home. I was<br />
bit tired after spending an hour in the<br />
oxygen chamber and suddenly noticed<br />
I'd taken the wrong turning off the<br />
Cv-35 to get to Lliria. I ended up going<br />
down a road to Benaguasil which I had<br />
never been on before and didn't know<br />
how to get off it! So I took a side route<br />
and just as I was driving back into Lliria,<br />
I saw a massive advert for Delta o2 on<br />
the side of a van in a carpark!<br />
It was absolutely amazing!! I had to take<br />
a photo. I felt like I had been guided<br />
here on purpose. It was weird. I think it<br />
was having a big effect on my pineal<br />
gland!<br />
over the following days I felt a lot fitter!<br />
I did a 15 km walk to my local village and<br />
back without feeling tired at all! Also I<br />
started to feel a lot more positive about<br />
the big challanges I was facing in my life<br />
and as if anything was possible! I had<br />
lost that feeling recently, so was very<br />
grateful to have it back! So if you like<br />
scientific healing treatments that make<br />
you feeling amazing, then give it a go!<br />

MOON<br />
The Key to Happiness Hidden in The Subconscious<br />
Written by Radilina Shanova<br />
Popular astrology is commonly<br />
centered around the Sun (or Star)<br />
signs. The minimum most people<br />
know about their astrological profile<br />
is if they were born a Gemini, a<br />
Capricorn or a Leo etc. And this is<br />
just the position of the Sun (among<br />
9 other planets) in the birth chart. It<br />
is only one of the many factors that<br />
make up the complex set of<br />
psychological predispositions and<br />
potential character traits of a<br />
person which a comprehensive<br />
chart reading can reveal. Naturally,<br />
many people do not fully or even<br />
partially identify with the qualities<br />
attributed to a particular zodiac sign<br />
and thus feel there is good reason to<br />
doubt the accuracy and reliability of<br />
astrology.<br />
There is an explanation behind the<br />
discrepancies and contradictions of<br />
Sun sign astrology. Important as it<br />
is, the Sun sign placement puts<br />
people in 12 categories that<br />
oversimplify the shared<br />
characteristics between them and it<br />
accounts only for one of two,<br />
equally significant, halves of the<br />
personality. The Sun sign stands for<br />
the reason-oriented, conscious and<br />
deliberate nature of what motivates<br />
us to follow a certain path and set<br />
our long-term goals. But there is a<br />
missing link, which makes every<br />
Scorpio, Cancer or Sagittarius<br />
different from every other born<br />
under that same Sun sign – the<br />
position of the Moon in the<br />
astrological chart. While it is<br />
relatively easy to figure out what<br />
our Sun sign is (they change<br />
position at about the same time<br />
every month and it is common<br />
knowledge that most Virgos are<br />
born in September and Arians in<br />
<strong>April</strong>), the Moon sign is trickier to<br />
calculate and remains generally<br />
disregarded. Yet, it is not only as<br />
essential, but arguably, even more<br />
defining of a person’s character.<br />
Which is the reason that, if knowing<br />
about it, most people would readily<br />
recognize themselves in the<br />
archetypal qualities of their Moon<br />
sign.<br />
I will briefly explore below what the<br />
Moon is about in astrology and why<br />
it holds the key to our personal<br />
wellbeing.<br />
The Moon is<br />
also<br />
intrinsically<br />
connected to<br />
what we call<br />
the<br />
‘inner child’<br />
within us...<br />
2 8<br />
C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T
ASTROLOGY / 29<br />
The Inner Emotional World<br />
Only half of what we are belongs to the<br />
realm of thought and logic – the<br />
functions of the mind and<br />
consciousness. The other half, which is a<br />
lot more subjective and unconscious, is<br />
what constitutes our emotions and<br />
instinctive responses to life. The two are<br />
the head and the heart of the<br />
personality. The active and projecting<br />
and the restrained and receptive. The<br />
Yang and the Ying. Rationality and<br />
intuition. All are at the same time<br />
conflicting and complementary pairs of<br />
which the former stands for the<br />
psychological function of the Sun while<br />
the latter represents the Moon’s<br />
significance and meaning.<br />
The sign the natal Moon is placed in<br />
provides information about what rules a<br />
person’s inner world – the feelings,<br />
instinctual nature and hidden<br />
motivation behind their actions. It<br />
specifies the particular manner in which<br />
they will be inclined to react to all that<br />
comes their way from the outside world.<br />
Like the lens of a camera, reflecting and<br />
distributing the sunlight in a distinctive<br />
way, the 12 possible faces of the Moon<br />
show how a person would expectedly<br />
respond to external influences - to both<br />
positive and negative stimuli. It speaks<br />
about their style of adaptation and<br />
perception of the environment they live<br />
in.<br />
The essence of what the Moon is in<br />
astrology is reflected in the words of the<br />
famous film director Steven Spielberg,<br />
who says: ‘Your intuition is different<br />
from your conscience. They work in<br />
tandem, but here’s the distinction: your<br />
conscience SHOUTS – here’s what you<br />
should<br />
do! While your intuition WHISPERS –<br />
here’s what you could do! Listen to that<br />
voice that tells you what you could do, as<br />
nothing is going to define your character<br />
more than that.’ The message of that<br />
quiet, often difficult to hear voice that<br />
Spielberg is referring to can be derived<br />
from the specific position of the Moon in<br />
a natal chart, and especially by the sign it<br />
falls in.<br />
While people born within the same<br />
month often share the same Sun sign,<br />
the Moon changes signs every two and a<br />
half days. It moves much faster and<br />
travels the wheel of the whole Zodiac in<br />
approximately 28 days. Thus, people<br />
born within hours from each other may<br />
have different Moon signs. The Moon is<br />
therefore one of the most individual<br />
factors in a birth chart. Gemini are<br />
known to be curious and chatty, Libras<br />
are usually delicate and refined and<br />
Pisces tend to be moody and artistic. But<br />
a Gemini Sun with the Moon in Aries is a<br />
completely different beast from a<br />
Gemini with the Moon in Scorpio, for<br />
example.<br />
Personal Needs and Happiness<br />
Two people having the same Sun signs<br />
implies that they would likely share a<br />
similar vision and overall sense of life<br />
purpose and direction.<br />
THE MOON HAS A<br />
LOT TO THE MOON<br />
HAS A LOT TO DO<br />
WITH OUR EVER-<br />
CHANGING,<br />
WHIMSICAL<br />
MOODS.DO WITH<br />
But if one has the Moon in Cancer while<br />
the other the Moon in Sagittarius, their<br />
everyday needs, what makes them feel<br />
secure and protected, as well as the<br />
things that bring them joy and emotional<br />
release will be very different. The sense<br />
of balance and wellbeing we all need in<br />
order to function and be ‘in shape’<br />
depends on how well we have integrated<br />
our Moon nature. Every Moon sign has<br />
to be fed its specific food. It shows what<br />
kind of nurturing, both physical and<br />
psychological, someone seeks and is also<br />
likely to give to others. This is why it is<br />
also related to how we are feeling with<br />
ourselves when alone, at home or when<br />
only surrounded by familiar people or<br />
circumstances. It is also our instinctive<br />
first reaction during a crisis situation,<br />
when there is no time to contemplate.<br />
The Moon has a lot to do with our everchanging,<br />
whimsical moods. It is so<br />
instinctual that it is very hard, if not<br />
impossible, to control.<br />
A great deal of decision making takes<br />
places on the basis of the emotions and<br />
moods rather than objective, rational<br />
thinking. And when the inner emotional<br />
‘climate’ that the Moon represents is<br />
turbulent and unstable, behaviour can<br />
turn destructive in a lot of different<br />
ways – food disorders, lack of care for<br />
the body, depression, compulsive habits,<br />
mental and physical blockages. When<br />
the specific emotional needs have been<br />
disregarded and we are not paying<br />
attention to them, the unconscious<br />
demands of the psyche still compel us to<br />
listen, but in a way that we no longer<br />
have control over the direction we take.<br />
OUR EVER-<br />
CHANGING,<br />
WHIMSICAL MOODS.
ASTROLOGY / 30<br />
The Moon is the channel through which all other energies and functions of the organism pass before they are able to play<br />
their designated role. It is a kind of filter or top-skin layer of perception and if our Moon doesn’t work, nothing else in the<br />
chart does.<br />
Relationships and Compatibility<br />
The Moon is also intrinsically connected to what we call the ‘inner child’ within us, that basic attitude we carry since early<br />
childhood. It is the inner child nature which accounts for the types of relationships we enter into and the people we<br />
instinctively feel good and safe with. Starting with the role of the mother with all its complex implications on everyone’s<br />
early development (the sign of our Moon talks about our perception of the mother) and going on to all sorts of intimate<br />
relationships later in life. Thus, compatibility with other people, both in intimate terms within the couple, and in the more<br />
general social field, has a lot to do with synchronizing the specific Moon needs of the those involved. Comparing two<br />
people’s Moon placements can provide invaluable clues on how they will be likely to interact and merge emotionally.<br />
The prominent writer of astrology Steven Forrest says that ‘The Moon is here and now. It tells you what to do immediately<br />
if you want to be happier’ and also that ‘to benefit from the secret of happiness, to attune truly to the Moon, we need to<br />
stop thinking. We need to feel. We must cultivate the fine art of recognizing and succumbing to …whimsy.’ It all comes<br />
down to learning how to take care of ourselves which puts us in the position of being able to help others as well.<br />
Below is a general guideline that Mr. Forrest provides on each Moon placement by sign. To find out what your Moon sign is,<br />
you can go to www.astro.com or www.astrotheme.com, among other online sites, where a birth chart can be calculated, or<br />

OBITUARY<br />
Sadly, on the morning of Thursday 29th March <strong>2018</strong>, a well<br />
respected and popular resident of Pedralba, passed away<br />
unexpectedly.<br />
A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF KEN ASHLEY<br />
Ken Ashley was a well-known figure in Pedralba and the surrounding<br />
areas, easily recognized by his love of cowboy style hats and his<br />
faithful dog, Megan!<br />
Ken had lived in Pedralba for the last 15 years, having retired from the<br />
West Midlands where he had an important role in the Fire Service for<br />
many years. He brought a wealth of knowledge with regarding fire<br />
safety and his knowledge onto everyone through talks for the local<br />
society to raise awareness of the dangers of fire and how to deal with<br />
subsequent emergencies. His talks were both amusing and of great<br />
value, especially when he donned his full fire service clothing!<br />
But Ken, with his zest for life, did not simply retire, move to Spain and<br />
do the occasional talk on fire safety. He brought with him his guitar<br />
and his passion for all music but in particular country music and Irish<br />
music. You could always find Ken at the social gathering, singing and<br />
playing to the delight of those around him. His voice will live on in<br />
many people's hearts with the words of the Jim Reeves song "I Love<br />
You Because" which was almost his signature song to those of us<br />
who live in Pedralba.<br />
His love of music led him to join the Pedralba choir, where he would<br />
sing solo, sometimes accompanying himself on his guitar. One of my<br />
personal favourites is his rendition of 'White Christmas' with Marina, a<br />
Spanish singer from Pedralba.<br />
When the Choir Conductor / Organizer had to step down, Ken, after a<br />
little gentle persuasion, took on the role and gave his heart and soul<br />
to ensure that the Choir carried on performing the traditional<br />
Christmas Carol concert in the church. Ken, as usual, gave it his all.<br />
Ken was also a great supporter of the local animal rescue society,<br />
together with his wife, Heather, he spent many hours helping out at<br />
the refuge, dog walking, clearing up, feeding and generally helping<br />
with everything including construction! He also gave up his time to<br />
play and sing at events and was a firm favourite with our Spanish<br />
friends.<br />
Our friend, Ken Ashley, will be sorely missed, not just by his wife<br />
Heather and his 3 children and 6 grandchildren, but by all of us<br />
whose lives he has touched.<br />

Ayurvedic Detox & Weight Loss<br />
Ayurvedic Detox<br />
The practice of cleansing is a vital part of<br />
any Ayurvedic lifestyle. It provides an<br />
essential means of clearing accumulated<br />
waste and toxicity from the mind and<br />
tissues to encourage optimal health.<br />
In today’s world, a regular cleansing<br />
regime is more critical to our health than<br />
ever before. Our bodies process<br />
seemingly endless waves of harmful<br />
inputs such as environmental toxins,<br />
processed foods, unresolved emotional<br />
blocks and psychological stress. Over<br />
time, these factors can cause toxicity to<br />
accumulate in the body, deposit in the<br />
tissues, and compromise our health. A<br />
regular cleanse helps to clear these<br />
toxins from the body.<br />
In addition to drinking plenty of<br />
detoxifying fluids, this particular cleanse<br />
based on eating a mono-diet of whole<br />
grains and kitchari tailored to each<br />
constitution. Following doctor advice<br />
ayurvedic treatments and specific<br />
herbal remedies are prescribed to<br />
regulate digestion, ease elimination, and<br />
support the body’s natural<br />
detoxification processes. This regime<br />
endorses the physiology by slowing the<br />
flood of harmful inputs and provides the<br />
body with the vital opportunity to rest,<br />
recover and heal itself.<br />
A simple cleanse can help to:<br />
Improve digestion and metabolic<br />
functions<br />
Promote regular and balanced<br />
elimination.<br />
Support a healthy body weight.<br />
Nurture an improved sense of<br />
energy, vitality, and enthusiasm for<br />
life.<br />
Encourage a balanced sleep cycle.<br />
Improve overall health.<br />
Weight Loss<br />
Obesity is one of the most common<br />
health issues in today’s world and the<br />
source of the high-risk problems such as<br />
angina, diabetes, arthritis, high blood<br />
pressure, heart failure, gout, etc.<br />
Our weight management program<br />
addresses the physical and emotional<br />
aspects associated with obesity.<br />
Ayurveda offers the best treatments to<br />
control and reduce obesity and<br />
Udvartan is one of the best treatments<br />
in Ayurveda for removing excess fat<br />
accumulated in the body. All our<br />
treatments related to reducing body fat<br />
based on relevant and purely natural<br />
treatments. Daily yoga, meditation, and<br />
dosha – specific Ayurveda diet also<br />
support weight loss, reduce stress levels<br />
and improve health.<br />

COMMUNITY EVENT: VILLAR DEL ARZOBISPO<br />
99 Red Balloons!<br />
Charity Dinner for Abandoned Animals Brings<br />
Humans Together!<br />
Interview with Laila Fletcher, Jenny Smith and Maria Naylor<br />
By Richard Voller<br />
Villar del Arzobispo is situated about 40 km from Valencia,<br />
near stunning mountains, and has a wonderful integrated<br />
community of both Spanish and expats. To me, it feels like<br />
one of those magical places where the community spirit is<br />
naturally present. In early March I went along to a charity<br />
dinner, hosted by a new community project, VillarMutts, in<br />
the popular bar Cervecería Lancelöt. The event was in aid of<br />
abandoned and mistreated dogs rescued in the Villar area,<br />
and for just a snip at 5€, I got to enjoy vegan chilli con carne,<br />
Nepalese curry, carrot & coriander soup, fruit crumble and<br />
rice pudding. It was a great evening, with live acoustic<br />
music, and included the opportunity to win some amazing<br />
raffle prizes, made and donated by our own local<br />
community members. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to get their<br />
hands on a hand-crocheted triceratops or a sponge-cake<br />
puppy on a plate!<br />
I was delighted to be able to interview the organisers of the event<br />
and learn more about what they are doing.<br />
Richard: “Can you tell me about the event you held recently in Villar<br />
del Arzobispo?”<br />
Laila: “Basically it was an evening of food, music and raffle prizes,<br />
getting people together and raising money for animals in need in the<br />
area of Villar del Arzobispo.”<br />
Maria: “We've only done two events so far, but it really seems to be<br />
bringing the community together. Even though there’s a good<br />
community here already, it’s nice that us new expats get to be<br />
accepted into the community.”
Insert slider<br />
Jenny: “Yes, when I walk around the<br />
town now, people actually say 'hallo' to<br />
me. Last year they just ignored me!”<br />
Maria: “It’s not about us receiving<br />
thanks or anything like that, it’s about<br />
the animals and bringing a community<br />
together, to raise the money and have<br />
fun!”<br />
Laila: “It's about people in the area, of<br />
all nationalities, having a good time for<br />
a good cause – one that’s local to the<br />
area where we all live.”<br />
awareness. It's easy to donate 10€ to a<br />
charity, but we want people to get<br />
more out of what they put in!”<br />
Jenny: “Our way is the hard way. But<br />
it’s much better! You don't have to just<br />
put out a charity collection box - we<br />
want to make a good experience where<br />
we all meet up and have a good time,<br />
and also raise some money. People<br />
loved the raffle prizes and they really<br />
loved the food.”<br />
Maria: “And it’s very rewarding!”<br />
Maria: “Maria Lluch [vet in Casinos] told me that the<br />
local kids used to throw stones at cats in the street,<br />
but she goes and talks to them and explains why it’s<br />
not ok. Lin Shepherd says the Pedralba shelter<br />
[Naturaleza y Animales] also educates children on<br />
animal welfare.”<br />
Laila: “Yes they do, because we've had the shelter<br />
come to school to give talks.”<br />
Maria: “But I don't think it’s a Spanish problem just<br />
because we’re in Spain. There are plenty of cases<br />
where English owners have gone back to the UK and<br />
just left their dogs behind.”<br />
Richard: “This sounds like more of a<br />
mission for you, because you all feel<br />
very passionate about what you are<br />
doing.”<br />
Maria: “Yes, with dogs and actually any<br />
animals. I can't stand animal cruelty of<br />
any kind!”<br />
Jenny: “I used to work for a charity in<br />
France and I just adored doing this kind<br />
of community work.”<br />
Maria: “We don't have the resources to<br />
support all charities we’d like to<br />
ourselves, so we want to create<br />
Laila: “Lots of people said they really<br />
enjoyed the evening!”<br />
Richard: “OK, I want to know how well<br />
people are educated about animal<br />
welfare here?”<br />
Laila: “It’s a big area and there are a lot<br />
of traditional rural people who might<br />
not really be aware of the animal<br />
welfare issues that people down in<br />
Valencia might be. Some people have<br />
kept animals for centuries in the same<br />
way their grandparents kept them. It’s<br />
unfair to say it’s a Spanish problem,<br />
though, because in particular the<br />
younger generations are really starting<br />
to make a change.”<br />
Laila: “The numbers here are quite overwhelming,<br />
though, compared to the UK for example. In Spain it’s<br />
culturally not the norm to neuter or spay, so there are<br />
a lot of unwanted litters.”<br />
Jenny: “Plus it can be expensive to neuter, so some<br />
people can't afford it.”<br />
Richard: “So what are the biggest problems that you<br />
are facing?”<br />
C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T
Right: Laila Fletcher working at the<br />
Charity Dinner<br />
Laila: “It's sheer numbers! The pet food<br />
brand Affinity have a foundation that<br />
collects national statistics on<br />
abandoned animals. Their most recent<br />
study shows that over 104,000 dogs<br />
and 33,000 cats were abandoned in<br />
Spain in a year! For comparison, the<br />
number of dogs abandoned in the UK<br />
was 50,000. But Fundación Affinity can<br />
only look at the officially registered<br />
numbers, and I wanted to get a true<br />
idea of the extent of the problem,<br />
because these figures don't include<br />
unregistered animals rescued by<br />
private individuals. On speaking to<br />
people, between the protectora and<br />
other people who rescue in just the<br />
Villar area, we’re talking about some<br />
250 dogs abandoned each year! And<br />
that’s not including the many that are<br />
taken to the pound!”<br />
Richard: “How do you find out about all<br />
the animals which need help?”<br />
Laila: “I rescue quite a lot of dogs<br />
myself and find homes for them, it’s<br />
almost unavoidable, because they find<br />
me! And there’s a strong network<br />
amongst animal rescuers in the area –<br />
we all help each other out. We do<br />
actually have a protectora (shelter)<br />
here in Villar [Protectora de Animales<br />
Villar del Arzobispo]. It’s quite smallscale<br />
because it doesn't actually have a<br />
site, so any animals rescued need to be<br />
placed in foster homes.”<br />
Richard: “So what is the criteria for a<br />
foster home?”<br />
Laila: “Taking in an animal to become<br />
part of your family until a permanent<br />
family is found. They live with you,<br />
much like an adopted pet would do,<br />
just on a temporary basis.”<br />
Richard: “Lin Shepherd [Naturaleza y<br />
Animales] mentioned they do a<br />
questionnaire, and check people out to<br />
see if they’re suitable to foster an<br />
animal.”<br />
Laila: “Yes, you need to have a basic<br />
home check, as rescuers want to see<br />
the home itself to check that it’s<br />
secure, so the animal can't escape, and<br />
that the property is really suitable.”<br />
Maria: “And not every dog is right for<br />
every person. An active dog might need<br />
a very active family - it's about getting<br />
the right match!”<br />
Richard: “So when you adopt, what’s the procedure?”<br />
Maria: “When you get your dog or cat from a<br />
protectora, you sign a contract promising to take care<br />
of them [and also to return them to the protectora<br />
they came from if a change in circumstances means<br />
you can no longer keep the animal].”<br />
Richard: “What actually is a protectora then?”<br />
Laila: “A protectora is an animal shelter (in contrast to<br />
a perrera, which is a pound). A protectora won’t put a<br />
healthy animal to sleep, and they’ll give them<br />
whatever healthcare and medical treatment they<br />
need, for as long as they need it. If a dog is old enough<br />
to be neutered or spayed, that will usually be done as<br />
well before it goes out to a home for adoption. But<br />
puppies are too young to go through the operation, so<br />
an adoption contract may ask you to commit to having<br />
it done when they’re old enough.”<br />
Richard: “So this is what you are supporting in Villar<br />
del Arzobispo then?”<br />
Laila: “Yes, we’re supporting the protectora in Villar,<br />
but also there are lots of private individuals who<br />
rescue animals as well, so we support on a case-bycase<br />
basis. It’s to help the most desperate cases of<br />
dogs who are rescued by people based in the Villar<br />
area.”<br />
Richard: “I’m curious, so if you want to adopt a<br />
rescued dog, is it expensive?”<br />
C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T
It is early days for the VillarMutts project, but it<br />
seems to have gone from strength to strength so far,<br />
so I wanted to know what they have planned for its<br />
future.<br />
Maria: “I think that it’s important to remember it’s not<br />
just us three doing the work. There are loads of<br />
people involved in this project, and we also invite<br />
more of you to get involved and help out whenever<br />
you feel you can. Do tell us your ideas and suggestions<br />
and get involved! Would you be interested in doing a<br />
charity dog walk for example?”<br />
You can go to the VillarMutts Facebook page to see<br />
photos from previous fundraising events, the animals<br />
which have been helped so far, and how their lives are<br />
improving. Also post your suggestions or ideas in the<br />
group.<br />
Jenny Smith and Laila - calling out winning<br />
raffle ticket numbers<br />
Laila: “We’re also thinking about the possibility of a<br />
village dog show - there could be lots of different<br />
competitive (fun!) categories people could enter their<br />
pets for. Would you be interested in getting involved<br />
with an event like this?”<br />
Maria: “You need to budget for decent<br />
healthy food and medical care for the<br />
rest of the dog’s life. It’s not always<br />
cheap!”<br />
Laila: “Some rescuers will ask for an<br />
adoption fee, or a donation, but that<br />
rarely covers the costs the rescuer has<br />
spent on the animal, though it does<br />
recoup some of them. But an adoption<br />
fee shows, more than anything, that an<br />
adopter is committed, and that they<br />
have a certain level of financial security<br />
to look after the animal.”<br />
Maria: “I've only had my recently<br />
adopted dog for a couple of months,<br />
and she's already had a urine infection,<br />
and gets through a large sack of food<br />
every three weeks!”<br />
Richard: “You see, so you have to<br />
consider all these extra costs when<br />
adopting. I think it's irresponsible to<br />
adopt based just on your emotions, you<br />
have to think logically about it.”<br />
Maria: “Yes, and here in Spain there<br />
are also rabies vaccinations, and<br />
Leishmaniasis prevention to consider.”<br />
Laila: “But having said that, vet bills in<br />
the UK are much higher than Spain!”<br />
Jenny: “Yes, it’s much cheaper here!”<br />
Richard: “Ok, so I’m curious to know<br />
what you do with the funds that are<br />
raised from the events?”<br />
Laila: “The funds raised from the first<br />
event went to help four very desperate<br />
dogs that were rescued here in the<br />
local area. One was a Podenco, living<br />
by the side of the road for more than a<br />
month with a badly injured leg and<br />
extremely underweight. And we've<br />
helped three dogs rescued in a terrible<br />
state. One was blind, and another<br />
didn't have a single tooth in her mouth,<br />
and when taken to the vets we<br />
discovered that she was missing part of<br />
her lower jaw underneath all of her fur.<br />
The blind one had to have an eye<br />
removed due to an infection which<br />
hadn’t been treated. Although the<br />
Podenco doesn't have a home yet, as<br />
she’s still being treated for the health<br />
problems she’s got, the other three<br />
have now been adopted by really great<br />
families.”<br />
Maria: “I think a cake party would really work!”<br />
Richard: “Well this really is good energy we’re sharing<br />
now, and this is just with tea! So I’m sure a coffee and<br />
cake party would be a great success!”<br />
Maria: “We’d like to do a cake and coffee party during<br />
the day, for people who don't want to go out too late<br />
at night. I think Victoria sponge cake would be<br />
delicious!”<br />
Richard: “Doesn't Karen Bicknell make cakes?”<br />
Laila: “Yes, she makes wonderful cakes for humans,<br />
and for dogs too! She’s also made and donated<br />
amazing dog-themed cakes to both of our prizedraws.”<br />
Editor's Note<br />
These ideas are great, and I think we’re now more<br />
aware of just how big the problem is that we’re facing<br />
with abandoned animals in this area, and that as a<br />
community we can do a lot more to help. I<br />
experienced the charity dinner and thought it was<br />
great fun, and a super way to meet new people in the<br />
community, as well as catching up with people I<br />
haven't seen for a while. I must admit that it’s a nice<br />
feeling to know that even though I didn't win a prize,<br />
my raffle ticket has gone to a good cause!<br />

community project, then checkout their Facebook<br />

Julia was rescued from the roadside by<br />
Adopción de Animales Villar del<br />
Arzobispo. She had been living rough<br />
for a couple of months, and had a very<br />
badly injured leg. As you can see from<br />
her photos, she was also severely<br />
underweight. We contributed to her<br />
significant veterinary costs, her leg has<br />
since recovered well, and she is now a<br />
very active girl, who just loves running<br />
about and playing with other dogs. She<br />
has undergone treatment for<br />
Leishmaniasis, and is now beginning to<br />
put on weight more rapidly. She will be<br />

The other 3 dogs were rescued by Protectora de<br />
Animales Villar del Arzobispo:<br />
Luna Bella is 11 - 12 years old, and her fur was so<br />
matted that she could not even go to the toilet<br />
properly. We pid for her bath & grooming, and she<br />
has since been adopted locally in Llíria.<br />
Nataly is 10 years old. Although it was clear that<br />
she had no teeth when she was rescued it was<br />
discovered that she was missing half of her jaw. She<br />
received veterinary treatment, and we were able to<br />
pay for her transport to her newly adopted family<br />
in Malaga.<br />
Molly is just 4 years old, but is blind due to an eye<br />
infection that was left untreated, and which meant<br />
she had to have one eye removed when she was<br />
rescued. We paid for her transport to her new<br />
family near Malaga, where she has her own dog<br />
pushchair, so that she can safely enjoy being taken<br />
out for walks to experience new sounds and smells<br />
with her family.<br />
We raised €247 at our first fundraising event in<br />
Villar del Arzobispo in December and were able to<br />
help these 4 dogs with their veterinary care and<br />
getting them to their new homes. Most importantly<br />
we were able to help them feel more comfortable<br />
and healthy, and get them out of their situation and<br />
into warm, loving homes. Our second fundraising<br />
event raised €437.88, with which we will be able to<br />
do so much more - we will keep you posted on the<br />
dogs we help!

Zoe is 4 1/2 years old, and she's been waiting for a home since<br />
she was just 1. She's very affectionate with other dogs, and also<br />
with cats, even if she's never met them before. She's shy with<br />
people she doesn't know, but she overcomes this in just a few<br />
days, and loves the attention of being in a home. She's looking<br />
for a home in the countryside or a village, as the city would be a<br />
little too busy for her.<br />

AURA<br />
PAITING<br />
By Richart Llover<br />
A few years ago I really started to become more Self-<br />
Aware and started to look inward to make more<br />
sense of the outer world.<br />
Going inward has helped me a lot in life to evolve to<br />
different levels of consciousness, which I feel is the<br />
life path of one's Soul. Anyway, I can tell you a lot<br />
more about that when we meet.<br />
Painting Your Aura on Canvas<br />
This summer I am giving private lessons to<br />
individuals who want to discover how to open up,<br />
connect and paint their aura onto a canvas. Being<br />
able to see your own aura is a beautiful experience<br />
and I can teach you about the meaning of colours so<br />
you can interpret the painting for yourself.<br />
If you suffer from anxiety, depression or high levels<br />
of stress, then this is an excellent way to take 'timeout'<br />
relax, have fun and be really creative! I am sure<br />
you'll be amazed with what you see!<br />
For a two hour lesson, which includes paints and<br />
canvas (45cm x 55cm), my tuition and guidance,<br />
prices start at Euro 50 per person. Travel is included<br />
for free within a 5 km radius from my home near<br />
Villar del Arzobispo. So if you live further away, then<br />
there will be an extra travel fee, or you can come to<br />
my home, Hapi Zen, near the mountains.<br />
For more information about your Soul and your aura,<br />
you can read the article in the February issue of<br />

TIPS AND ADVICE<br />
By Grace and Ray Foster<br />
My husband Ray and myself, as you all may<br />
know, actually “wear 2 hats”. As well as him<br />
being a well published poet, and myself a<br />
Reflexologist / Psychologist, we are both<br />
qualified Landscape Gardeners, in fact Rays<br />
qualifications were gained under the tutelage<br />
of the well known Cornish T.V. gardening<br />
personality, Don Hoyle. For over 30 years Ray<br />
had his own gardening business, both in<br />
Cornwall and later in Scotland, planning and<br />
drawing the designs required by the client,<br />
then putting it into reality. I was always called<br />
the Scottish Charlie Dimmock, although I did<br />
always wear a bra (ha ha) … so.. to gardening<br />
in Spain.<br />
When we first moved here we thought we were in a<br />
gardeners paradise and so we are, but the reality is that<br />
it's very different from gardening in the U.K., depending,<br />
of course, where you live. Here in the Valencia area is a<br />
little microclimate all of its own, so what grew very well in<br />
U.K. won't necessarily grow well here. For example,<br />
Rhubarb, Raspberries and Gooseberries being a few that<br />
like the really cold English winters.<br />
Many of us have gardens, others have a terrace or just a<br />
small balcony, but if we feel the need to feel grounded by<br />
sinking our (green?) fingers into some earth and soil we<br />
need to know what we can grow successfully, especially if<br />
we've never attempted it before because of time factors.<br />
So let's start with a little balcony. Which direction does it<br />
face? How much hot sun in summer does it get?<br />
Do we want only to grow flowering plants and shrubs?<br />
Would we like to grow herbs, which can be used<br />
medicinally? Or even fruit and vegetables? I can hear many<br />
saying that’s impossible on a little balcony!! But we, I'll<br />
address that at a later point, although actually, you will<br />
discover, it's very achievable!<br />
Today let's talk about the basics. Pots and containers are<br />
in abundance here in Spain, both plastic and ceramic.<br />
Ceramic pots can be very beautiful, and will add more<br />
colour to our little balcony, but need a little more<br />
watering than plastic pots, which don’t need it quite so<br />
frequently, being non-porous water doesn’t evaporate as<br />
quickly.
A FEW IDEAS TO WET YOUR<br />
APPETITE<br />
These will need to be clipped twice yearly. A Bay<br />
tree will not only look good but be useful in<br />
cooking too. Don’t let it dry out, and give its<br />
leaves a spray often. Citrus trees will grow in<br />
pots, Clementines, for example, will also give you<br />
double the pleasure with the blossom than the<br />
fruit. Lemons will fruit abundantly, although some<br />
of the immature fruit will fall, allowing the rest to<br />
grow larger. Limes, to grow well in pots. When<br />
growing citrus fruits you need to remember to<br />
remove some of the topsoils in Spring, and<br />
replace with a good top dressing /soil, keep the<br />
pots well watered, but again tip away any in the<br />
dish. These little trees need to get fed regularly<br />
with an appropriate general fertilizer. We will<br />
discuss other larger plants in future, in the<br />
meantime…<br />
H<br />
aving chosen the containers we need to make<br />
sure they have sufficient drainage, as plants don’t<br />
generally like their roots to sit in water<br />
collected in the container under the pot needs to be<br />
drained. So a good layer of stones or broken pots are<br />
important in the bottom of our chosen vessels. There's a<br />
huge choice of growing medium so you need to decide<br />
which type you need, e.g. are you growing flowers, fruit, or<br />
just green leaved plants?<br />
Peat – Turba<br />
Manure – Estiercol<br />
Fertiliser – Abono<br />
Trowel – Desplantar<br />
Flowerpots – Macetas<br />
You can also buy granulated peat which will help in<br />
retaining moisture. A small balcony looks good arranged<br />
with taller plants at the back, a vine, for example, will give<br />
shade, flowers, and some fruit too if desired – Jasmine is a<br />
hardy plant which will fill your patio with perfume, and<br />
can be trained over your walls. Trees are actually useful to<br />
grow, they can help with shade and privacy. A hedge can<br />
be achieved with pots of Thuya ( small conifer, which is<br />
available in Gold as well as green).<br />
A little bit about what to grow lower down in our<br />
arrangement. What about growing some Herbs?<br />
Many are so good for our health, here are a few to<br />
wet your appetite:<br />
BASIL – ALBAHACA- calms nervousness, helps<br />
ease stomach pain<br />
CHIVES – CEBOLLINO – helpful in lowering blood<br />
pressure<br />
PARSLEY – PEREJIL – good for colic/ tummy<br />
upsets<br />
SAGE – SALVIA – 1 tsp in hot water for sore<br />
throats, also mix half water and A.C.V. + mother<br />
THYME- TOMILLO – 1oz to 1 pt hot water drink 2<br />
fl oz 3 x daily to relieve throat/chest problem<br />
ROSEMARY –ROMERO- Has many uses 1 oz to 1 pt<br />
boiling water to relieve a headache with gastric<br />
upset 2 fl oz 3 x daily – as a hair tonic, use the<br />
infusion as a hair wash<br />
Next time we’ll talk about how to grow these<br />
herbs and more… Hasta Pronto

“It was a great opportunity when Richard suggested<br />
interviewing me after I had Summited Kilimanjaro a<br />
month before. I was so pleased to be able to tell my<br />
personal story to the communities where I live. In Life<br />
human beings are often seeking connection, to share,<br />
enrich and inspire others around them. <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Spirit</strong><br />
really makes this happen.”<br />
“People learn every month about people in their own<br />
communities, events going on around them or where they<br />
can get support for something in their everyday lives. It<br />
bridges the gap and brings all communities together in the<br />
rural areas of Valencia.<br />
It's such a valuable online magazine and so many of us are<br />
really grateful for its creation.”
spiritual<br />

&<br />
gratitude<br />
BY EMMA CLARKSON<br />
WWW.THEFREERLANCER.COM<br />
Beautiful people of Valencia. I want to talk to<br />
you about spiritual alignment, and the benefits<br />
of practicing humility and gratitude. I don’t<br />
know exactly whether one should come first or<br />
whether one is caused by the other. Does<br />
becoming spiritually aligned lead you to a<br />
place where you feel drawn to give thanks<br />
and feel grateful, or does showing gratitude<br />
help you on your journey to alignment? This I<br />
don’t know. But I do know that they are<br />
connected. I can testify to this and will go as<br />
far as saying they saved my life.<br />
Do you, or have you ever felt an inner<br />
sensation that you’re in the wrong situation?<br />
Like your life doesn’t fit?
I would love to be<br />
part of<br />
a community<br />
