HOPE FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA –


IN YOUR HEALTH FOOD STORE? Martin Oliver


Due to society’s stigma against mental illness, schizophrenia is a condition that we all hope not to develop. In general terms, it is considered a form of psychosis that is characterised by a breakdown in


thought processes and emotional responsiveness. Those affected commonly experience a range of symptoms including hearing voices, having paranoid thoughts, and communicating through disordered speech. According to the mainstream view its association with split personalities is misleading and inaccurate. Most commonly diagnosed in the late teens and early


twenties, schizophrenia is considered to be caused by both genetic and environmental factors, but did you know that Vitamin C is very good at ameliorating the symptoms of schizophrenia, and people with mental illness tend to have an ten times higher requirement for it than average?


EMPOWERMENT EBOOK


IT’S ALL UP TO YOU Debra Clayton


Balance and harmony in life are achieved when your head and your heart are on the same wave length. This is something we are born with. However as we grow, we learn to think with our head and feel with


our heart and suddenly that line of communication which came so naturally at birth is severed and no longer functions as it should. By recognising what kind of thinker you are and implementing a few changes you can open the door to good mental health and a balanced and happy life.


METAPHYSICS EBOOK


SPIRIT CONTACT AND CONFERENCE REVIEW Wendy Stokes


For many thousands of years, mediums around the world have been contacting spirits to receive wisdom and healing for their community. However, in today’s world, this knowledge is being replaced –


or is it? In this conference review by Wendy Stokes, scientists and doctors work alongside mediums and healers to shed light on the value of ancient spiritual knowledge.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF


PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT? Paul Fenton-Smith If you replenish yourself spiritually on a regular basis, you are less likely to forget your underlying purpose in this lifetime, less likely to lose your way in life. Clients who arrive lost and tired have


temporarily lost their way or forgotten to spiritually nourish themselves. Paul Fenton-Smith is one of Australia’s best known psychics and authors on this topic.


WHEEL OF FORTUNE SPELL – EMPOWERING ABUNDANCE


CREATION Kira G Goldy


Kira shares her number one tool for upgrading life and making dreams come true – tried and tested through her own journey from long-term singledom, low energy, and poorly paid work to


becoming a married, successful business owner, glowing with good health. She shows you how to do it yourself, using simple step by step instructions. Kira calls this tool a spell, which, she says, is “just a


practical exercise with a wee prayer and extra oomph – nothing weird and no religious beliefs required”. What I, as editor, observe is that, though it’s called a spell, it’s pretty much the same as a vision board or even a list in your journal might come close – so take heart if a ‘spell’ is not for you – it’s certainly worth the read to be inspired.
