‘Dissolving the Armor: Seeing Reality as it Truly Is’

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Candia Sanders

On our last beautiful day here in the Northwest I had a wonderful hike along the Columbia River. It is when I’m walking in nature sometimes I have my best epiphanies. I had this great visual of how we protect ourselves over the course of our lives with this armor that we shield ourselves with energetically. I’ve known this but seeing it with fresh eyes is always revealing. Due to multiple challenges we have over the course of our lifetime,

(Barrier or Wall of Protection)

can build up walls around ourselves that we are truly not aware of. Even though I am most open, I realized over the course of this year with all the stress that has been zooming around me, I had built up armor, protection from the stress load. Once I saw this I was able to change it. My invitation to you is for you to realize that we all have armor of some kind that keeps us from seeing the true world. The world as it really is. I visualized the armor around me or the wall of protection, dissolving around me as I walked. The armored-wall visible in my mind, was instead this beautiful diaphanous light around me that allowed energy, love, perception into my space. Everything became brighter and more clear. The birds sang louder, the sky was radiant blue. And it may have been only in that moment, that richness, however, having the ability to see our world more clearly, crisp in it’s lines and sharp reality, is a wonderful gift. I invite you to awaken the same ability within yourself. Visualize the outer walls of protection you have created over your lifetime, dissolving at your feet. Imagine only beautiful light around you with Crystaline clarity available. Imagine seeing the world as it truly is and enjoying-loving the ability to be here now, in the present moment. See the diaphanous, wondrous energy encapsulating all of life, notice the dull and dead spots too, showing you reality from a new perspective. The more we shift our perceptions, the better able we are to live in gratitude, allowing only love into our inner sanctuaries leaving the stresses behind. We can then see the world as it truly is. Cosmic sunshine to you.

EMF ~Electromagnetic Frequency~ Overload: 15 Ideas to Re-Set Your Physical System

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Candia Sanders

It feels like forever. It’s been ages since I have had the ability to write due to multiple complications in my life. An interesting year. I moved to a new office the end of January. The first time I have had a new office since before my kids were born. I was so elated. Little did I know it would change my life on so many levels.

My new office wasn’t grounded properly, had Pergo floors, nylon carpet, plastic desk chair pad. Over the six months I was in there I eventually became the lightning rod or grounding tool for all the electricity in the office. I felt as if the Zeus was hitting me incrementally with all his lightning bolts. I would walk into the office and my hair would stand up on my arms as well as my head. My arms and fingers would begin to ache as every nerve in my body became the conduit. My stomach and diaphragm would pull up and cause pressure on my heart making it feel as if I couldn’t breathe. Fortunately for me, I know “magic” so have been able to stay on top of it  as it’s been an arduous journey. Due to this, I have become overly sensitive to iPhones, cell phones, iPads, and computers. I can’t even be around computers without symptoms arising. Old-fashioned electricity ironically is fine. It is only been new technology that is disrupting all my nerves and cells and tissues. Though I realize this is unusual, I don’t feel I am the only one on the planet today that is affected by our high electromagnetic frequencies that are used in all the new technologies.

Subsequently, I have done research and have had several doctors assisting me on my journey. I have learned a great deal. Interestingly enough, most cancer cells the electromagnetic properties of the cell have been disrupted. This is not the only contributing factor however I feel it is something that needs to be addressed. Hundreds of thousands of people sit in front of computer screens daily. Cell phones are carried by people globally. The evidence that cell phones cause brain tumors is relevant. The frequency of a cell phone vibrates at the same level as a microwave oven. Imagine what that is doing to our brain cells? Search on YouTube for the videos showing major explosions around gas tanks. They are incredibly horrible. The electrical spark emitted from the cell phone causes enough friction with gas fumes to create an explosion. If the frequency is that powerful again imagine the impact on our physical bodies.

Have you ever been in ICU unit at the hospital? The technology in them is amazing. Their all wires, computers lights and more wires to assist in the patient’s recovery. Ironically all the electricity and electromagnetic fields could actually be hampering the patient’s health. Spending time in one this summer I found I was not able to stay in the room for any length of time. The stress on the patients must be extremely taxing on their immune systems. I feel this is something that is completely overlooked in the health assessment of the individual.

In our fast-paced world staying away from the technological advances, which are here ironically to ease our daily lives, has been tricky. it has afforded me time to put my focus and attention elsewhere,  however I have missed my daily connection with so many people. It is also given me time to learn ways to maneuver through the minefield. If you find yourself achy, headachy, stiff, mentally fatigued, nerve endings alert, perhaps you too are more sensitive than you think. Here are a few tips to assist you on your journey.

1. Obviously, limit time on your devices and if it’s not possible use earphones as they are the safest.

2. Use a stylus on your cell phone or iPad or tablet. It limits your exposure.

3. Carry when possible your cell phone away from your body, putting it into a purse or satchel or fanny pack to help limit the electromagnetic waves against your physical body.

4. Remember to stay grounded. Go outside get your feet in the dirt, touch plants, grow long roots into the earth visually. This will also help keep your body strong.

5. Take extra chlorophyll  to keep yourself balanced and your cells vibrant. This will also help internally maintain your digestion and overall body strength.

6. Eat more protein to help manage the stress on your body. Make sure it is clean and healthy protein.

7. Keep black obsidian, jet, and/or Shaman stones around your computer,  this will help ward off frequencies as will extra pennies as they act as mini grounding rods .

8. Try wearing a copper bracelet for grounding purposes.

9. Check out EM F devices online. I know some people have had great results from them however I am not one. I have tried Earth calm for my phone and computer to no avail. I’ve also tried the Q link; it also proved useless for me. You however might have better results.

10. Take baking soda baths for alkalizing your system. It’s very healthy for you and can prove beneficial.

11. Geomatics Stress Drops which also provide electromagnetic stress relief can also be beneficial. You have to get them through a healthcare professional.

12. Take extra B12 for stress. It’s all also helpful in  managing external stress as well.

13. Spend as much time in nature as you can. Not only is it soothing to your senses it is also extremely healing, allowing the electricity to ease from your body and into the ground.

14. Make sure you are taking enough minerals and electrolytes to support your system and to offset the high dosage of outside frequencies. This will also help with the achiness.

15. Consider old methods of communication. Land lines for one and snail mail for another. You might just surprise someone when a letter arrives in the mail. It will feel like a gift to them.

I would not want anyone to be subjected to this type of sensitivity as it is not easy to explain, fathom or work with. Even in writing this blog today via voice and the stylus the frequencies still are impacting my cells and tissues. It is worth it though to get this information out there. And one little bit of data,, the US government has created a location in Virginia that is completely electromagnetic frequency clear. People are flocking from around the world to live there. Check it out.

Cosmic sunshine to you!

‘Taking Things So-for-Granted’

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Candia Sanders

In 1992 my first husband and I bought a cabin in Washington that was built in 1966. It was erected on a reservoir on the SE flank of Mt St Helens. When she erupted in 1980, 33 years ago this past weekend, the cabin withstood the ordeal and survived through the turbulent flooding which ensued after the explosion. It left the lake bottom in front of the cabin, 40 feet shallower than before. To this day, it still is a barren wasteland under the water.

Atop 'Eagle's Clif'f looking north at Mt St Helens.

The cabin forty-seven years after construction, is still off-grid. Only one hour from the infamous interstate joining Canada to Mexico, our private retreat is still something from the past. Only a year and a half ago, a cell tower was erected in the vicinity; up till then there was no phone service what-so-ever. And of course I don’t have Verizon, so for me it is still a remote cabin far away from the maddening crowd. No electricity, no phone, with water plumbed from rain and snow melt off the mountain herself. We do have two bathrooms, however just last Friday, the outhouse was finally demolished.

Awesome blue skies between the Douglas Firs.

Today we went up to do some work. My illustrious handyman-can-do-anything-fix-it-guy-second-husband, put in solar several years ago. In addition to candles, firelight and propane, we now are very civilized with solar lights. The reason I’m explaining all this is because today it was very Zen. It was totally a chop-wood, carry-water, contemplative,  kind of afternoon. It’s really the little things in life which make it charming, wonderful, joyful and meaningful. I know you’ll think me totally daft, however my fix-it guy, turned on the back-up generator for me and I vacuumed the entire cabin, all four bedrooms, great room and kitchen. I took great pleasure in being able to suck up dead critters that collected over the winter. I took joyful pride in being able to get the dust bunnies and dog hair creeping heavily under the beds. I know big deal right? Yes! It was a big deal.

We take life, the people and things in it so-for-granted ~ daily. It wasn’t but a short twenty years ago, most people didn’t have cell phones, yet alone every kid across America. Now we get pissy if a call is dropped while we’re driving ~ a convenience we take so-for-granted. Having had no electricity for the past twenty-one years, it is a gift when conveniences we take as normal in every other facet of our lives, become available if only for a moment. It truly was a joyful and fun afternoon. (To explain, no, I do not have a vacuum up there; we have no room to keep it, nor has it been on the priority list to buy; we borrowed the home vac for the spring cleaning.)

I would invite you to reassess the things in your life. Truly examine them, decide if you are taking anything or anyone for granted. Look through a new window and see another view. Perhaps it is your job, your relationship, even your home or your overly-techie phone. Re-evaluate and embrace simple things from a place of joy and watch the changes that ensue. It’s remarkable the difference in the outcome and within yourself.

‘Sunlight in the Birch’

And one more thing to note. Dismantling the word, granted, is ranted, or rant. Ranting and raving on about something is based in anger. Anger needs to be addressed, let go and released for us to be totally free and happy. Instead of ranting about the piles of carpenter ants, I was happily removing them. Life is awesome.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

‘Option C’

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Candia Sanders

It’s easy to feel stuck. Life tends to ramrod us with bills, obligations, requirements and unnecessary baggage. The road becomes narrow and we’re thrown between a rock and a hard place with few options available. Or at least we believe it to be that way. We narrow our choices down to A or B trying to figure out the best moves to make the journey better and easier to navigate.

We can choose right or left. It’s easy to second guess our choice and wonder if choosing left would’ve been better? In reality there is another option. Option C. We can choose to climb up and over our obstacles and view life from a higher perspective. A wider vantage point is always a positive option~ the horizon broadens and opens a plethora of advantages, ideas, options and directions.

Option C is for ‘Consciously Creating’ our best choice. Everyday we work with free will ~ however we tend to forget this valuable tool. Free-will combined with Option C is our ticket, our key to breaking away from the old programs, illusion and chaos.  It grants us the ability to move out of feeling stuck, weighted down,  initiating the greater potential of who we are. Option C works. The key is to utilize it through loving, mindful intention. There is always a new pattern to create, a new direction to implement. Moving away from fear and creating consciously fresh alternatives, translates into trust and connection with the Divine.

Option C can also mean ‘comedy’. And laughter is the best remedy of all.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

‘What’s in a Name’

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Candia Sanders

How many Mikes do you know who have similar personalities, or Mary’s, or Jessica’s or Alex’s? Pretty amazing really, the likenesses that rise to the surface, all through the chord-link of the name. I remember years ago, connecting the behavioral-dots between a couple of Kevin’s I knew. I thought they were all weird. (Sorry to any Kevin’s reading this today.) Little did I know then, how much truth there is in the personality-name-stamp connection.

Names are really frequencies. They resonate to sound and vibration, length and energy. Mike or Mary or Whomever will share the same/similar frequency as other’s who share this name. It’s the reason so many parents choose the same name even when they realize their child will be one of eight Jessica’s in the class. They like the feel of the name and what it will create for their child. And Jessica’s have a good reputation so they run with it. As parents we’re going for character strength: the name impacts this greatly. It’s fascinating. In ages past, the naming of a child came with a very clear honoring ceremony to celebrate the arrival of a new soul. The name is/was to give the new born strength for the life’s journey. The name carried/s with it the energy of cause and direction for the soul to travel.  

Taking this one step further, when names are broken down into numerology the underlying themes start to resonate and become apparent as each number carries with it patterns and emotional imprinting.

A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W=5, X=6, Y=7,  Z=8

Add up all the letters, then take it down to single digits. For example, if you arrive at 32, then the final number for your name is 5. There are many books available if you are interested in learning more about names and numerology.

I love too, there are some names that are in circulation which have been around for centuries, Michael, John, Mary, Sarah (these names are extremely symbolic and with strong associations) and then there are those who have been retired for good reason: Mildred, Winnifred, Willard, Bertha,  Harold, Dick. (My great grandmother’s name’s were Winnifred and Thelma. My great grandfather was Willard – What were their parents thinking??)

My reason for directing focus on our names is actually from a different angle. Names can be utilized as a wonderful resource for discovering deeper meaning of our life’s purpose. And besides it’s a fun exercise. Perhaps you already know this trick, however if you haven’t worked with it for a while or for the first time, it can be quite revealing.

Write down all your names, including your nick names, maiden, married etc. Separate the letters turning it into a scrabble like process. Begin to form words and discover the magical descriptive nouns and verbs which appear under the surface of your name.

I’ll use my name as an example. My given name is Candia Lee Sanders; I went by Candie for two decades, so I have an A and an E to work with. Both are relevant. My first marriage, my name became Schweitzer for nearly twenty years. This added to my pile some wild and wonderful letters: Z and and H in addition to a T. These additional letters gave me the ability to spell out the words, W I Z A R D, H E A L E R and T E A C H E R  in addition to the words which my original names created. All of which are true. I actually took the time to consider my second husband’s name, Ross, if it would add any extra directives/directions to my energy field if I took his name.  I’d only add an O. An O really didn’t impact me so I choose to keep my maiden name.

I would invite you to use this fun and revealing tool for all kinds of divination. If you are interested in several jobs/career opportunities, separate the location and job opportunity by their letters and scrabble them into a pile, then see what the words disclose. Compare each job and location the same way to reveal which is the most beneficial and right for you. You can do this with prospective partners too. See what their name reveals then add their letters to yours to see what the overall package between you could create on both sides, good and challenging. The list is endless to how you can utilize this ancient tool created through sounds and frequencies.

Please share if you discover any hidden treasures buried in the imagery of your name – I’d love to hear. Trust the truth of your exploration. The universe is ready to share information regularly if you only take the time to delve.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

“The Emotional Ark of Empathy: The Move Away from Judgment”

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Candia Sanders

We all deal with judgment. On some level, no matter how hard we try, judgment bares its ugly fangs, and we make judgments on and about people, situations, behaviors, outcomes. Actually the list rages on significantly into politics, gays, drugs, war, abortion, religion, gun control, you name it. They are all very polarizing themes. We judge someone else’s beliefs based on our own experiences. Judgment really boils down to perception based on experience. The issue is how to use it wisely without destroying someone else or thing in the process.

Judgment as a noun, is synonymous with ‘common sense’. It also means making a decision based on evidence, a deductive thought process involving presented facts and possible clues. The definition can also imply ‘decision about blame’ depending on the usage and intent, sliding down into ‘doom and fate.’ In other words, through our beliefs we can choose’common sense’ and make good decisions/observations, or move into ‘dooming and fating’ someone with our perception of what is ‘right or wrong’. These judged opinions are based on our past programming, social upbringing, and circles of influence. Judgments are also based on our insecurities; what makes us uncomfortable. If we are completely comfortable in our own skins, judgment isn’t an issue. We don’t judge others if we feel good about who we are intrinsically.

A case in point. My husband asked how I felt about someone we know who had an emotionally-based-alcoholic-let-down. Due to a heavy consumption of liquor, he went a bit out of control, influencing the events of the day and our evening. It bothered my husband; his feelings were hurt. Ironically the behavior had nothing to do with my husband, however none-the-less, he took it personally.  This goes back into his personal history dealing with several alcoholics over the course of his life, who through their dysfunctional behavior heavily influenced his family members. For me, this man’s behavior meant nothing; I was neutral. In other words I wasn’t offended, hurt or in judgment. Again, my husband’s reaction and judgment were based on his past experiences and memories. 

I explained if this man had been out cavorting, sexually trying to scratch an emotional itch, now I would’ve felt differently, based on my past. I would have felt more inclined to judge his behavior, feeling his actions were out of alignment with his integrity. Of course, this stems from childhood experiences and my belief about infidelity.

One thing I have learned is there are always (one of those words we are never to use) multiple views, with multiple perceptions with many outcomes. Someone’s behavior has a basis, an origin that created the reactions. No matter the situation, there is an emotional foundation which instigated the behavior. The best solution and best possible place for any of us is to be in supportive love. (As in our weekend, I had great empathy at the thought of the massive hangover that would eventually ensue. The headache alone would’ve been punishment enough.) And if judgment arises instead, it is time to question our own piece in it to allow forward neutral behavior. No matter the situation. Where do our feelings of blaming, punishing and harsh sentencing arise from within? Where is the disconnection?  It’s the reason why captives have been known to be swayed by the emotional fervor of their abductors, known as the Stockholm Syndrome; sympathy is developed, making the other side of the coin visible. The captives looked within and embraced emotional empathy.

I have learned to take the time to dig in and see where my own insecurities lie, where my emotional disconnections arise, so I can change my reactions and behavior. It’s not fun to look in the mirror and see where I’ve been adrift emotionally, where the holes in my emotional boat can drown me in misconceptions, perceptions and judgment. It’s much easier to stay in that place of safety, judging others for their misdeeds and actions. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is one of the Archetypal characteristics I chose upon arrival onto the planet: the Judge. Learning to put the role into good use is the key.

I love the definition of judgment as common sense. Utilizing acumen, parlaying it with awareness, intelligence and rational intuition, our keen observational skills have the ability to address the situation from a place of inner percipience and knowing. Combined with the willingness to explore our inner psyches and the lovely patterns which helped shape us, builds a savvy discriminating and discerning ship of quick maneuverability, an emotional ark of empathy and positive response.

Here’s a toast to ‘Common Sense’.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

‘Full Circle’

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Candia Sanders

I have been working with a man who has Parkinson’s disease for several years.  Additionally, I have been working with his wife helping her emotionally cope with the spiraling demise of his body. (Remember as the healer, healing is only possible to those who truly desire it, believe it and want it to manifest. Illness can be part of the larger journey.) The stress of illness on the caregiver can be just as monumental as the one with an illness. It piles up and impacts the meridians, the lines of energies connected to the organs, and the chakras, the spiral of flowing current aligned with the endocrine system. There is also the emotional component which is staggeringly intense, full of weight, guilt,  turmoil and conflict.

I have to share an amazing event which occurred last week. I was reading both of their energy fields recognizing how intertwined they were. Of course as a spouse and caregiver we feel it is our duty to uplift, encourage and support our partner. The piece we forget to realize is it is not our obligation to drain our own energies to support another. It is our Divine right to be in our own connection to the universe, completely devoid of other’s energetic infractions. We actually all do better when we are clear. It’s like the cells in our bodies; when they overlap and become entangled, cancer ensues.

In reality, her vitality had been keeping her husband afloat. She has felt subconsciously required to do everything possible to keep him sustained, including giving him her core energy.

Through quantum healing we disconnected the two of them. Instantly she felt the difference. It was as if her emotional and physical vitality wells were sealed, no longer leaking, giving her the ability to replenish her body’s supplies. Now here is the most intriguing part of all. Through the disconnection, her husband’s energy shrunk immediately, but not in the way you might expect. His fields containing his mental, emotional and physical bodies contracted, now having to sustain themselves individually without the bonus of outside support. The image I perceived was his enfolding inwardly into the fetal position, forming a full circle. It transformed into a womb, reinforcing the circular model. From there the illustration continued to evolve and transform into an embryo, further compressing his being into a single cell. He literally was showing the evolution of the life-to-death cycle, the spiritual component of the body re-merging with the initial cell of life. It was beautiful.

Death scares us -too many locked in memories held in our psyches combined with centuries of misconstrued religious views of heaven and hell.  Our incredible Parkinson’s patient creatively and artistically showed me the nature of our reality which carves out the most sacred journey with aplomb and mastery. From energy we are born, to energy we will return. There is nothing to fear. It is but a magical migration of the soul,  back to the womb, to the circle and center of the universe.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

‘Ten Top Remedies for the ‘Asshole’ Virus’

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Candia Sanders

Have you noticed how many ‘assholes’ there are today? Or is it just me? The driver next to you on the freeway flipping you off as you merge.  Isn’t that your right? The girl at the check-out stand, having forgotten she gets paid to assist customers, who is having a bad-attitude-day, glaring discriminating expressions at you for taking up her time. The resentful and discourteous answering service who takes your information-seeking call, communicating in short, curt, demeaning sentences. Seems like it’s rampant. Could even be your partner or spouse. I feel we are dealing with a very heavy virus, an Asshole Virus that’s taken our nation by storm. I feel we need to address this pandemic disease and discern the best possible remedies and solutions.

I realize I might be offending some people by calling a spade a spade. In a world of being politically correct about absolutely everything, stating the truth gets side-swiped. Saying a person is an asshole is rather harsh, however can be most apropos. If it’s true, it is. Saying otherwise is less than the truth. It is important to note, being an asshole does not come under the same umbrella as a dumb-ass or a smart-ass. A dumb-ass is one who is limited in their ability to utilize their intelligence. A smart-ass can make other’s laugh with their cynical brilliance. An asshole is just plain unkind, mean and disparaging.

A fabulous client and friend was the one who brought this issue to my attention in full regalia. She was extremely upset about her husband. I don’t know if she knew how direct and insightful she was when she told me her story about her husband’s malady.

“He’s either on drugs and we can get him treatment and back to being healthy. Or he’s depressed and we can put him on drugs to get him well. Or he’s just a plain asshole with no cure and I have to figure out what to do??” It was then I realized, all too clearly, we are dealing with an epidemic, a virus of aggressive, unhappy behavior- individuals who like to throw people into their path of destruction, mincing them up with acidic and contemptible aggression.  One of the most noticeable symptoms of the Asshole Virus is, ‘No one deserves to feel happy if I don’t’.

The underlying truth is, it is a far more perplexing an illness than realized on the surface. The remedies for this antagonistic and insidious virus are also more complicated. In a world where personal responsibility is a bit dicey, surreal and disguised, this virus has had the ability to really take hold in our psyches and lower our natural inclinations of goodness and weaken our immune systems of integrity.

If you know individuals or loved ones who are poisoned with this shrewd disease -as shrewd it is, I’ve complied a list of antidotes.  These disrespectful viral  conditions have become tolerated in our interactions with one another – not cool. What happened to good principles, honesty and honor? Now is the time to change the toxic environment, heal  wounds, regain vitality and positive attitudes, eradicating the Asshole Virus, similar to smallpox, measles and mumps. If that’s possible, then so is this.

1. A Cup of  Awareness. Awareness is king. Sometimes individuals become so self absorbed in their own demise, awareness of the world around them becomes hindered, obstructing their abilities to understand and care for other people. In sharing awareness of said bad behavior, offers the afflicted room to grow, change and deal with what is.

2. Homeopathic Remedy of Communication. Communication gets lost in the barrage of bad behavior, where lines of demarcation are drawn in anger, words of warring and disrespect become the norm. What’s missing? What is really the issue? Suggest taking time to really uncover the buried and sometimes convoluted issues which created the behavior, allowing the virus to take over the system. Communicate with patience and love.

3. Vitamins of Support. People are grumpy because they don’t feel well. This is amplified with the Asshole Virus. The body can be tired, weak, achy and just plain drained. Good basic vitamin and mineral support can help eliminate the symptoms, supporting the system. Think the basics: Vitamin C – lots of it for immunity, B’s for stress, D for happiness, minerals for cellular, organ and bone support. Add in good nutrition and the symptoms will improve quickly.

4. Hydration of the Heart. Individuals are assholes because they are not happy within. It’s pretty simple really. When we are happy, we are good to others. When we feel overwhelmed, depleted and despondent, it’s much easier to allow negative emotions to rule. Suggest emotional heart support; extra love, touching, more love. It opens up the heart center, hydrating the arid-ness which has befallen the emotional core; again another symptom of the virus. Invite good friends and family to share in the love-fest: goodness begets goodness and hearts expand.

5. Cleansing the Patterns Human behavior is often based on patterns we have developed based on environment, familial expectations, society and friends. These patterns can be extremely toxic and destructive; addictions, attitude, sabotage, anger, resentment, OCD, – the list goes on. We all have them in some form. When we recognize poor, bad rampant repeating cycles, it’s time for deep cleansing. This can be accomplished using the remedies listed, amplified with clear concise communication combined with emotional and mental discipline to recognize the old offenders. Every time a mis-patterning behavior arises, change it with new perception and action. This improves the immune system, cutting off the stranglehold of the Asshole Virus.

6. Toxic Flush Humanity and all life forms have become toxic. Literally. We are swimming in mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead, aluminum, Thimerosal found in vaccines, etc. It impacts our brains, attitudes, cells and vitality. The toxicity can burden behavior more than the medical establishment is willing to address. Flushing the system of heavy metals is a wise choice. Chlorophyll is a natural chelator; it gathers toxins in the cells and helps to rid the body of the impurities. Zeolite also chelates metals and radiation. If someone is heavily afflicted by the Asshole Virus, it could be amplified by heavy toxins in the system.  A steady flush is recommended.

7. Rebuilding the Machine To  improve natural immunity to bad behavior requires redirection of attention. Focus on enjoyable exercise which builds muscle and bone strength. Breathing fresh air improves stamina, eliminating fatigue and drowsiness. Physical activities improve at a core level, our self esteem. When self esteem and confidence rise, the ability of the Asshole Virus to stay active within our psyches’ diminishes tenfold. Joining other participants creates space for positive relationships, again neutralizing the virus.

.

8. Calming the Mind, Reassessing Stress Stress is the number one factor behind illness. Of course there are multiple support factors which also supply the body/mind with toxicity, however stress is the number one emotional component. Find the specific stressful basis and be willing to adjust attitudes and perceptions around the ’cause’. This is the first step. Next is the ability to focus on calming the mind, finding, seeing and sensing peace in all the earthly beauty from blue skies to children’s laughter. Perhaps it’s time to suggest to the patient, meditation, trying yoga. Find the Asshole sufferer a crystal, inviting them to intentionally send stressful situations and people to the gem, transmuting the emotional and mental anxieties with love and light. This relaxing of the mind, strengthens the overall body, improving immune health, eradicating the Asshole Virus from the emotional, mental and physical bodies.

9. Creating a New Environment/Strategy.  Possibly the time has arrived, even  imperative, for change. A new job, a new living arrangement, a different relationship. If the end of the rope  is imminent, yet the courage to make the leap is lacking, the Asshole Virus has the ability to really set-in and take over behavior, making the situation even more dire. Strongly suggest  changing the scene/environment is healthy and well deserving. Offer encouragement – in other words, literally sending courage to the sufferer to transform their position. Change is an immune fortifier, even if it feels awkward, scary and challenging.

10. Peaceful Warrior If you are one of the unlucky recipients of Asshole Virus behavior, *standing impervious to destructive antics,  *defining boundaries, *offering love while being firm about acceptable and unacceptable accountability, is strong medicine for the patient. Your mirror can be the transformative reflection needed. When offered with love and fortitude, this hearty remedy can really instigate and refresh in the individual what is most important. Your love and support – or the lack thereof? The choice is offered.

And when all else fails,  Preparation H, works wonders.

Cosmic sunshine to you!

The Wrong Number

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Candia Sanders

April 1st tends to bring out the maniacal crazy part in us. Trying to pull something off, to convince someone our story it true, to jest, joke, kid, can be lots of fun or not, depending on what side of the story you are on.

To all the ‘licensed fools’ out there, which is a lot more fun than being a natural fool.

Cosmic sunshine to you.

‘The Last Five Minutes’

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Candia Sanders

The last five minutes of any encounter are just as important as the first five. This is true for most things – conversations, work, editing, sex. You name it, our undivided full-on-straight-forward attention makes all the difference.  By offering your focused intention and undivided attention, the emotional connective thread between you and the recipients completely changes. Or the outcome of a project, a competitive sport, a lecture, the last run down a ski slope.

If someone is curt and short, the lasting impression left behind in the ether lingers, leaving  an energetic negative imprint. You’d rather forget the encounter. To change this, the more aware and mindful you are of your own attentive and active participation, the outcome, even in a negative encounter will shift. In other words, your kindness and attention-to-detail will magnify energetically, impacting the brusque individual in a positive light. Love how this works.

Ironically, I blew it yesterday when I didn’t take my own advice.  In those last five minutes in finalizing the blog, the phone rang. My attention was diverted and divided. Instead of focusing one hundred percent, I was hasty, wanting to finish my project. My intention was to push the ‘preview’ button; inadvertently pushing the ‘publish’ button. I hadn’t had time to proof read. Not good. And of course, in the very first sentence there was a verb problem. For a perfectionist this is not a good thing. I quickly changed it however the blog had already got out into the cyber space universe. Yep, those last five minutes of careful editing would have made the difference, however I was multi-tasking, upsetting the apple cart. This once again proves the theory, the first and last five focused minutes are vitally important if not critical to create the visualized outcome.

Take sex as another example. If we take our consciousness, our mindfulness away from our own body and our partner’s, the fabulous end result is not going to happen. Sex when it gets right down to it, is yes, a mind set. Our conscious intention has to move to the right location with full-spotlights-of-glaring-attention-to-detail to make all the right moves happen, the desired outcome erupt. Those last five minutes, especially for a woman are imperative.

The first five. The last five. Focused intention and full mindfulness. Fireworks and applause. It’s worth it.

Cosmic sunshine to you.
