A Moment with an Intuitive Chiropractor

Dr. Steven Hiebert

Massage therapy and personal training students at Saint Paul College are captivated as Dr. Steve Hiebert demonstrates muscle strength testing on a fellow student. The student has told him that she has a problem with her knee. He listens intently and proceeds to test the strength of her core. She said this was strong but he demonstrates it is actually weak. After some adjusting, he tests her core again by having her resist a strong, steady push, which she can now do. We are all amazed. Someone … [Read more...]

A Mother’s Wedding Gift from Heaven

That now familiar feeling I had come to know as my mother was poking at me again. Strong enough this time to wake me from my night's dream. My heart felt so full as her gentle warmth curled up around me, peace radiating in such a way that it became my very being. There was no doubt in my mind that the etheric hands of my mother were holding me in a hug as I felt the rays of her love soothe me like a baby being sung a lullaby. It had been six months since I had gotten engaged, three years … [Read more...]

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D. will share her life-changing experience at the upcoming Celebrate Your Life Chicago "It was 7:00 a.m. on December 10, 1996. I sluggishly awoke to a sharp pain piercing my brain directly behind my left eye. Squinting into the early morning light, I clicked off the impending alarm with my right hand and instinctively pressed the palm of my left hand firmly against the side of my face. Rarely ill, I thought how queer it was for me to awaken to such a striking … [Read more...]

Smile!

smile

It isn't really necessary for me to tell you that smiling is good for you, that it is associated with good things in our lives. You already know it. You knew it every time you smiled when you learned something new or how something worked. Your mother knew it too when she smiled at you when you were born. When you made a new friend or got a new job or earned a good grade on your test, a smile was there. You did let out a little bit of a smile, even if it was the crinkles around your beaming … [Read more...]

Many of us imagine a world in which there would be peace, not just the absence of war, but true peace -- peace that is as personal as quietude and self-acceptance and as global as the whole human race living together in harmony and mutual respect. On May 19, on St. Anthony and Main, the Inner Peace Festival will honor this dream through a gathering of diverse religious, cultural and artistic expressions. The Center of Light, a non-denominational Christian Mystical Center in Uptown, is … [Read more...]

Cancer: the Disingenuous Disease — The Story is in the Blood

By 1 Comment
hiltibran

Third in a series Within a month of being diagnosed with breast cancer I had completed several important tasks: I met with the oncologists -- surgical, radiology and medical -- and had an MRI ; saw a health coach at Pathways, gaining mental clarity concerning my own thoughts and feelings about having cancer (read: March 2012 Edge); and owned my repressed resentments and began peeling away the layers (read: April 2012 Edge). It also became clear that a traditional approach to cancer was not … [Read more...]

Hope Avery, a beautiful soul

Cristina: Mer, why do you care what I think? Meredith: Because you're my person! ~ "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC In early April, after several months of pain from metastatic cancer, my father-in-law Herb Mielke had made peace with God, and now he wanted his people by his side. Oldest son Cary, driving in rain and hail in Kentucky -- on a college visit with his son, a high school senior -- turned on a dime upon hearing the news and drove all night to get back to Minnesota. Middle daughter … [Read more...]

Feline Wisdom: Be Authentic

By Leave a Comment
cat_tongue

In recent years, I've felt an increasing importance to live authentically. I am who I am. In the past I cared (too much) about what people thought of me and made some choices based on whether or not I thought they might judge me harshly. And I'm talking about silly things: the music I enjoy, my sometimes dark and overly silly sense of humor, my love of wildly dancing in the kitchen to the Bee Gees. I thought perhaps some people would think me less spiritual if they knew that in the same hour, … [Read more...]

Dear Nadine, I'm a practicing Wiccan and some kids in school are making life hell. They say stuff about what I wear and how witches were burnt in the past. They say I better watch out.

Help! -- Sam Dear Sam, While high school should be fun -- it's a place to make friends, try new experiences and study interesting subjects -- for some kids, school sucks.

I have long been fascinated by the phenomenon of crop circles. In 1994 I made a pilgrimage to England to study the mysterious formations, appearing consistently now for over 20 years. While the glyphs have been the subject of controversy and some have been fabricated by hoaxers, an intelligent study of them points sharply toward the expression of interdimensional intelligence. (For an illuminating overview of the state of the art in the crop circle phenomenon, watch the DVD What on Earth? -- … [Read more...]
