Bill
C-51
Puts supplements,
vitamins and other alternative products under pharmaceutical
and government control.
|
Queen's
Park, Toronto, Ontario
A march
will be held this weekend May 10 to oppose Bill C-51.
This bill has the potential to drastically reduce/eradicate
access to natural supplements, foods and products. The bill
is in its second reading (in record time!) and could potentially
become law very soon without public knowledge.
The passing of
Bill C-51 means your alternative health products like Vitamins,
supplements, herbs etc. would be termed as prescription drugs
and regulated and distributed accordingly.

EMPLOYED
BY LOVE


|
For
the first time, EMPLOYED BY LOVE, the
story of the path that created Aziza Healing Adventures
and published in Conscious Women, Conscious Careers, is available
complete and unedited for Newsletter Subscribers.
"I lost
God on the summit of Mount Sinai in May 1985....Sunrise came
shining golden on the temple built where the Burning Bush
is believed to have stood .....
"Trekking
Nepal in 1991 bridged a rhythmic tangible connection with
the earth, unbridled by ceiling nor walls..... For 14 years
I juggled my day job while training in Reiki, Gestalt and
Expressive Arts.... 9/11
postponed the first season of scheduled retreats and provoked
doubts ....."

LIGHTNESS OF BEING BLISS JOURNEY 9-DAYS in BALI
Jan. 29
- Feb. 6, 2009 in UBUD & TEJAKULA
This is Aziza's
most fascinating retreat offering. Bali gives us the perfect
tapestry from which to dive deeply towards wholeness.
We are supported
on this path with extraordinary natural beauty, inventive
creativity in use of everyday objects, by culture and religion
that are integrated into daily life.
We talk, listen,
float in the pool, snorkel in the sea, pray in a temple, dine
on fresh grilled fish and organically grown vegetables. We
are serenaded by evening songs of insects, birds and temple
chanting.
We move to yoga,
pause for meditation, walk along rice paddies, surrender to
healing massage. We look deeply into the heart of healing.

" Thank
you very much Laila for the amazing experience and for taking
such good care of us. You have created a miracle in Bali."
