			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">THE INNER DIMENSIONAL SOUND HEALING CHAMBER IS MOVING TO EDMONTON!</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Cymatic Dreams Wellness Center will be the new home of the Chamber</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Visit them at<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></span><a href="http://www.cymaticdreams.com/"><span style="color: #ffffff;">http://www.cymaticdreams.com/</span></a></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><span id="more-435"></span></span></h2>
<h4><span style="color: #ffffff;">The divinely inspired Inner Dimensional Sound Healing Chamber is a blending of science and metaphysics in vibrational technology.wer of sound touches and muman history.  Even today, cultures the world over use sound to heal, attune, invoke, and transform consciousness.</span></h4>
<h4><a href="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/healing-chamber.jpg"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><img class="size-full wp-image-441 alignleft" title="healing-chamber" src="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/healing-chamber.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="360" /></span></a></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Music affects the body in profound ways. Have you ever noticed that a certain piece of music can affect your mood?  Some music can have a relaxing effect while other musical pieces can be stimulating or take you back in time to a past experience.  All vibrations, from subtle to obvious, have specific effects on us emotionally and physically.  Sound Healing is a therapeutic field rapidly taking note by modern medicine due to its effective applications.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Science has shown us that the body and mind are intertwined. Therefore, as we allow our mind to relax the </span>body can then in turn follow creating an environment for healing to occur.  Using sound vibrations may be the most subtle and the most powerful of all healing modalities.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Intent is the primary value to sound therapy. In essence, the frequency (number of cycles per second the sound is vibrating) plus intent equals healing or a positive therapeutic effect.<br />
The Sound Chamber uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, well being, and better health.</span></h4>
<h4><strong> </strong></h4>
<h2> <span style="color: #ffffff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Deluxe Sound Healing Session:</span></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Releasing Sound Session:</strong> This treatment session includes a half hour intuitive reading to discover the needs of the individual and to set an intention for the overall session.  Following which you will spend approximately one hour in the Chamber, and to conclude the practitioner would give a complete chakra clearing, utilizing specialty alchemy crystal singing bowls; allowing the individual to leave feeling grounded, refreshed and rejuvenated. The advantage of this session is that it can address the emotional issues that are manifesting in the physical body that need addressing to move forward in clarity.  A truly unique healing experience.  The Releasing Sound Session is our most popular sound therapy experience and the one most frequently booked.</li>
</ul>
<h4><span style="color: #ffffff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Follow-up Sound Healing Sessions</span>:<strong>.</strong></span></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ffffff;">30 Minute</span> Short Relaxation Follow-up Session or a 1 Hour Long Relaxation Follow-up Session</strong>:  For these sessions we would quickly set the intention for why you are going in the chamber, choose your music, and then start your session to allow you to Pamper yourself with ultimate musical relaxation experience.</li>
</ul>
<h4> </h4>
<h4>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.  Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.&#8221; &#8211; Dr. Mitchell Gaynor</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We offer a wide selection of Rings, Earrings, Bracelets and Necklaces.  Unique pieces that are reasonably priced to suit any budget.  Check out some pictures of our selection and find out about some of the fabulous designers of our products.</p>
<p><span id="more-648"></span></p>
<p>We are pleased to be able to offer jewellery not only from around the world, but also from right here on Vancouver Island.  We currently offer products from several different artists who reside here on the Island and who take pride in producing amazing &amp; beautiful jewellery.  From hand-carved Wooden Pendants to Black Pearl Necklaces to Rutilated Sterling Silver Sleeve Rings we have something here that will suit your style.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-717" href="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/jewellery/starfish-comp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-717" title="starfish-comp" src="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/starfish-comp.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="129" /></a></p>
<p>Here is an example of some of the unique Vancouver Island made products that we carry.  These are hand sculpted in Victoria by Lady Dragon Glassworks.  To create their jewellery, Lady Dragon Glassworks uses a method called lampworking.  Lampworking is the process of shaping glass by heating it with a flame produced by a torch.  These pendants are made of hard glass which is more thermal shock resistant than soft glass which makes them less fragile.  Currently we have Starfish, Northern Lights, Goddesses, Mermaids and Frogs designs available.  These make for wonderful gifts plus they come with the added bonus of supporting a local artist. </p>
<p>We also carry a lovely selection of Sterling Silver Jewellery as well as Copper Jewellery.  Come see us today and check out our eclectic selection of beautiful pieces.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where did they come from and what are they for?</p>
<p>One of the greatest mysteries to Archaeologists is the discovery of “Perfect” Crystal Skulls.  These beautiful artefacts of unknown origin are void of tool marks and are dated to anywhere between 5000 and 35000 years of age.  To this day it is unknown as to how they were formed or why.  There are many theories; gifts from extraterrestrial beings, divinely created, from Atlantis, or some even believe that they are a hoax.<span id="more-156"></span></p>
<p>The theory that they are divinely created corresponds with the belief that they were the tools of Shamen &amp; Healer’s and were used as the first computers to store information.  As we all know crystal increases vibration and it is believed that these ancient practitioners used the skulls to store information so that others could scry <a href="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/skully-copy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-196" title="Skully" src="http://spiritualityduncan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/skully-copy.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="294" /></a>on the magnificent beings and recover the teachings of old.  Meditating with crystal skull increases awareness; being that the skull is the same shape as our brains it aids in bringing clarity, heightens awareness and increases visions.</p>
<p>Here at the Golden Yew Healing &amp; Gifts we have had the honour of meeting Sha Na Ra and had him spend time in our Inner Dimensional Sound Healing Chamber.  This skull is absolutely magnificent and we highly recommend to all who have the opportunity to go meet Sha Na Ra for themselves.</p>
<p>Skully is our in-house mascot.  He is a rare elestial skull who was a former travelling partner of Sha Na Ra.  He is not available for sale but we do offer his services in our Crystal Cave Meditations.  For more information on this service please see the page to the right labelled “Crystal Cave”.</p>
<p>The Golden Yew Healing &amp; Gifts does carry a selection of skulls available for sale – replicas of course.  They can be used as tools for meditation, focus pieces or simply used for displays due to their magnificent beauty.  If you would like to purchase any of the skulls that you see in the picture slide show please <a href="mailto:info@thegoldenyew.ca">email us</a> with a description of the one you like and we will happily provide you with pricing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>For Creating a Sacred Space:</h3>
<p>Create an intention and ensure that you get your smudge product into all directions.  For a room – go into all the corners – behind doors – inside closets starting near the floor and working your way up the walls towards the ceiling.  You can use your hand or a feather to direct the smoke where you would like it to go.  Chant a mantra as you go to fulfill your intention.  An example follows which you are welcome to use – or be creative and make your own that is unique to you.<span id="more-220"></span></p>
<p><em>I banish and transmute all wayward spirits, thought forms, and out of body beings.  I banish and transmute all wayward spirits, thought forms, and out of body beings.  I banish and transmute all wayward spirits, thought forms, and out of body beings.</em></p>
<p><em>I banish you, I banish you, I banish you.</em></p>
<p><em>BE GONE!</em></p>
<p>(Repeat above sentences as necessary until complete)</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h3>For Smudging a Person(s)</h3>
<p>Create an intention. Starting near the feet and using your hand or a feather to direct the smoke.  Work your way around the person on all four sides – North, East, South &amp; West, slowly making your way towards the head.  Finish off by going around the top of the head repeating your mantra all along as you go.  An example follows, but again create your own as you see fit.</p>
<p><em>With intention I clear your energy field of any and all things that do not serve your highest good.</em></p>
<p><em>I surround you with the light and love – peace and joy.</em></p>
<p>(Repeat above sentences as necessary until complete)</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>When the smudging ritual is complete snuff out the smudge stick in your smudge bowl or use an empty jar or mug.  You do not need to use water to extinguish your smudge stick – so long as you remove the oxygen source it will burn out on its own and will be ready to use at a later time.</p>
<p>Note:    When burning anything ensure that great care is taken and you are aware of the precautions as embers may start fires. Always take necessary precautions to ensure safety.</p>
