This week: Shungite, Homeostasis and the Endocannabinoid Signaling System
Dates starting Wednesday 22nd October in Balingup; Friday 24th October in Margaret River - 8 week opportunity for Teens - finishing 10th and 12th December respectively
9:30 - 11:30 BOOK - HumanKind: A Hopeful History - by Rutger Bregman
12:30 - 2:30 ART - focussed on Ancient Egyptian
HumanKind - is a wonderful antidote to the transhumanist influence prevalent at the moment. Rutger Bregman presents humanity as essentially good, depsite the many facets of history that present evils. A wonderful series of true stories well worth a re-visit.
Many of the people that I have in this and previous newsletters mentioned will be there... including Katana for Spinal Flow (you can book a session); James with Inner Dance (there's a workshop on the Saturday); Darren for your filtered watering system; Devi and Dave from Kundalini SW; and a host of others...
As part of the pre-events, James will be guiding an Innerdance journey on Saturday, 25 October at 2:30 PM in the Yallingup Hall... for bookings go to Innerdance session: https://www.trybooking.com/DERBJ
For the SUNDAY Wellness Expo Tickets, go to: Main Expo tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/yallingup-wellness-expo
I'll be opening the space at 8am with a brief talk on Meditation followed by a 15 minute meditation - all welcome.
At 9-10 am, dance some sacred Paneurhythmy developed in Bulgaria around 100 years ago by Peter Deunov, based on timeless esoteric practices (tickets from the above link) - want to hear more about this work? See the interview Dave did with me a few years ago at https://www.youtube.com

 Spiritual Formation through Direction - text or email for options in Dunsborough/Yallingup, Margaret River/Witchcliffe, and Balingup/Bridgetown/Nannup
Book a session and see where it leads...
Personal Development has traditionally focussed on spiritual formation through what has been referred to as Spiritual Direction. In the manner that I work, I include practices inclusive of imagery and meditation. If you are interested in finding out more, please have a look at SDI-Companions (I have been a member on and off for over 20 years).
As in the past, following an initial consultation, those desiring to pursue deepening their work commit for a once-a-month meeting for either 6 or 12 months (renewable if desired). Cost $160 per session (conc. available for financial hardship).
More details please do read the pdf included here, which in part reads:
Spiritual Formation is first and foremost a journey, not a destination. This journey remains personal, and as any aspect of life, is unique, though sharing characteristics with the journeys others have travelled. It is in recognising and sharing the signposts, bringing awareness to aspects of a map whose reality others have explored, that what is called spiritual direction may be beneficial. The journey remains, however, personal as development unfolds according to one’s own steps upon a path created anew and afresh.
Spiritual direction provides us with a means to deepen our relationship with the divine, and to learn and grow in our own spiritual life and formation. A spiritual director is someone who is able to accompany us, in part only, within that journey. As a director, I see my part of the journey as bringing some guides or signposts into view, making use of symbolic tools that have long been used so assist you in taking some new sejourneying steps.

The Empress – Who is she? What is she?
No symbol has single meaning, or it would cease being symbolic. Yet, (as I write in my book), ‘symbols, though having no fixity in meaning, do not lack precision’ – so what are this card’s unfixed yet precise meanings? Tomberg writes in Meditations on the Tarot:
The Major Arcana of the Tarot are authentic symbols. They conceal and reveal their sense at one and the same time according to the depth of meditation. That which they reveal are not secrets, i.e. things hidden by human will, but are arcana, which is something quite different. An arcanum is that which it is necessary to "know" in order to be fruitful in a given domain of spiritual life. It is that which must be actively present in our consciousness — or even in our subconscious — in order to render us capable of making discoveries, engendering new ideas, conceiving of new artistic subjects. In a word, it makes us fertile in our creative pursuits, in whatever domain of spiritual life. An arcanum is a "ferment" or an "enzyme" whose presence stimulates the spiritual and the psychic life of man. And it is symbols which are the bearers of these.
Who, or of what, does the Empress possibly represent? and, finding answer(s), whereforth are we lead…

This week in focus
 Shungite, Homeostasis and the Endocannabinoid Signaling System
In a recent discussion, aspects that I mentioned in a previous Newsletter on the uses of micro-dosing and the Endocannabinoid Signaling System came up.
First and foremost, it may be worth noting that an increasing number of research has shown the importance of this still little-known or talked about system and its importance to the Gut-Brain axis (I would claim, the Head-Heart-Gut system). What is significant is that regular meditation improves signalling in this important dynamic homeostatic system. Meditation, as well as microdosing certain natural plant medicines, increases serum concentrations of endocannabinoids, leading to an overall healthier life (improving what is often referred to in the literature as positive psychological outcomes and 'HRQoL' health-related quality of life).
Homeostasic improvements can be achieved, which seems to have been apparent from time immemorial to esoteric traditions both East and West, by reducing allostatic overload through carefully selected wholesome substances and through prayer and meditation (these last two which, in any case, overlap). At the cellular level, it seems evident that allostatic overload is worsened through our ever increasing pathogens in food and water, as well as, significantly, by EMF through wireless technologies (especially our phones, satellites and ubiquitous wi-fi). These all impact the dynamism of our body's homeostasis: it is not, after all, something that is fixed, but rather a moving feast impacted by our body's continuous engagement with inner and outer environment (including its ever shifting stance based on the endocannabinoid signaling system).
Aside from meditation and plant medicine (by which I am specifically referring to - and especially - psylocybin and ayahuasca), there are some recent developments such as the magnetically charged (in its production phase) ASEA products (see below), and the increased usage of carbon such as that found in its natural crystalised form (perhaps better described as fullerenes made up of carbon spherical molecules) such as shungite. Each of these (meditation, plant medicines, ASEA, and shungite) operate ultimately at improvements at the mitochondrial-dna-cellular level, improving and maintaining cellular health (including telomeres) and thus our body's generall wellbeing.
Optimising mitochondrial function, metabolic water production, and maximising ATP? Check ASEA Redox products below.
On the importance of cellular health, Peter Deunov mentions (6th February, 1927) that:
The gifts and abilities of a person are hidden within their own cells; they are not something external. If you treat your cells — your organism — well, your gifts will manifest, but this takes time. All sciences [from Latin for 'knowledge' and understanding], all virtues are hidden in the human cells because they are connected to intelligent forces, to intelligent beings.
You must become aware that every person represents a society made up of intelligent souls who share something in common with them. Therefore, when you wake up from sleep, your first task is to get these intelligent little beings to think, to enter into harmony with you.
This is achieved through prayer, through concentration, through work.

ASEA Redox... for Cellular Health
ASEA products
RENU28 Skin Cellular Health, ASEA drink for cellular health, ...and now ASEA RedoxGold to assist healing and pain reduction.
About RedoxGold
RedoxGold is a gel designed to amplifying repair in the compromised area whilst simultaneously relieving muscle and joint discomfort. It is due for release in Australia on the 6th February (this week!). Where ASEA uniquely stands is through the achievement of creating and stabilising redox signalling molecules outside the body, making it possible to replenish these molecules and deliver them in a form our body recognises and naturally uses in healing. As we age or face stress, the production of these molecules decreases, slowing down our cellular communication network. Redox Gold is the next evolution of innovative products from ASEA. It is the first ever, targeted product to help muscles and joints recover faster. It activates the NRF2 genetic pathway for cellular repair and inflammation management, and boosts glutathione levels —our body’s natural defence against stress—by up to 280%. This product is already reportedly making a difference for people living with discomfort: 100% of testing participants felt relief within 15 minutes. Safe, non-toxic, non-greasy, and hypoallergenic—perfect for all ages. Relief with no side effects or risk of addiction. Actually repairs while offering relief (not a band aid solution).
From my perspective, it adds to what is already known to be the positive cellular healing effects of redox signalling molecules with what is also known of the positive impact of gold in healing (such as what is referred to as white gold powder – though it is in gold's natural form that RedoxGold incorporates this beneficial metal).
Purchasing
Go to my FourHares ASEA page , and then simply click to Buy Here' . My suggestion is to try it for 3 months, I'm sure you'll want to continue - with a box (4) bottles of ASEA Drink and 1 Renu28 - this seems to be what most people regularly use. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any elements, PLEASE be in touch
Research findings
Summary of RECENT FINDINGS ('White Paper') (independent research by University of Bath and University of Western Sydney):
● The research conducted independently by both universities found that the Nrf2 pathway was significantly impacted by redox signaling molecules.
● Nrf2 is a genetic pathway that plays a vital role in regulating genes that support response and resilience to a range of stressors. These stressors may include fatigue, emotional stress, inflammation, environmental pollution, and even lifestyle factors such as poor diet or sedentary behavior.
● One key finding in the research was that supplementation with redox signaling molecules increased Nrf2 activity by up to 60%. This is significant given the Nrf2 pathway enhances the antioxidant protective system inside our bodies’ cells. (See fig. 7B.)
● Another key finding is that supplementation with redox signaling molecules increased cells’ production of protective proteins like glutathione, which play important roles in promoting overall balance. The research revealed that supplementation with redox signaling molecules increased glutathione production by 40% in healthy cells and that it restored glutathione production in compromised cells even more—by 55%. (See figs. 12A and 12B.)
The White Paper (linked above) includes the following explanation:
Signal transduction by electron transfer, or redox signaling requires an electrophile (a molecule that attracts electrons) reacting with a nucleophile (a molecule that will give up electrons). Redox signaling involves reactions where an electrophile takes electrons away leaving the nucleophile in a more oxidized state (oxidation reaction). In this situation the electrophile is called an oxidant. On the other hand, reductive stress is characterized by an excess of cellular electron donors. When conditions result in ratios where antioxidants exceed pro-oxidants, reductive stress occurs with a consequent excess accumulation of reducing equivalents like reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), for example, surpassing the compensatory activities of regulatory oxidoreductases. In summary, oxidation and reduction by loss or gain of an electron induce changes in structural and functional characteristics of molecules, thus modifying signaling processes.
Redox signaling is part of the normal physiology of all cells, including flow stimulated growth of endothelial cells, and plays a significant role in pathophysiological responses such as occur in ischemia/reperfusion injury, as well.
